The question should be...

![question-mark-2405207__480.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZZSRSPsnSoQvtGu8pTrpF6i3jk846XH2ZLxWRaAqdAD3/question-mark-2405207__480.jpg)The question you should ask everytime you set out is, **"Who is going to stop me?"** and not *"who is going to let me?"*
>No one will let you become a success; and everyone, will try to stop you from becoming a success. 
Contend with those trying to stop you, that way, you have an edge. 

The first question is the right one because, you have to be daring if you want to earn a living, respect or your pride of place in this life. 
Asking "who will let me" is already a sign of defeat and only losers step out that way.

You cannot let yourself be profiled by matters that hold little or no gain to what you are about or should be. 

Learn to understand your placement in life and even if you cannot yet see it, live it based on what your mind sees. 

Truth is no one will allow you thrive more than they are thriving even if they tell you they love you. 
Living in itself is a competition first with life and then, the very people who make up life. 

Don't you just wonder at how some individuals will do anything no matter how dirty and despicable just for a dime? 
Anything goes for some and to many, there nothing they won't do for a grain of fame. 
****
Own the stage, sell yourself before someone sells you to you. Declare your standpoint and never go below par. 
When it is necessary, take a leap even if it isn't blind one, take it. Results are sure both ways. 

The question is not about who will allow you move to your desired platform, it should be about who will stop you and if you are not stopping yourself, then no one can.

This is necessary for many today. The rate of suicides has increased at an alarming level. Encouragements, such as your post, will help people focus more on positivity.

Thanks for the kind words. The issue of suicide is one that needs all our support to solve and I hope many learn to live based on their own appraisals than of what the world thinks. 
Stay awesomeb
