It does me. I have always defied authority.

jfhad...was it childish of Christopher Reeves to do everything in his power to prove his doctors wrong? I think not.

What did your defiance do for you in life? Were you better off with it or without it? I usually pick and choose my battles, including this kind. Some things aren't worth defying, and defiance is not always in a person's best interest.

Depends entirely on what the reason is that I can't do it. But I think you do have a problem if you defy authority, and you need to bring that into obedience to Christ. Christianity is based on submission to Lordship of Christ and His authorities over you. Read Roman 13

its a very childish characteristic that we all have and most keep throughout their lives, outside of work environments where limitations are necessary, it is a good thing that makes us push ourselves and strive to exceed expectations.

That is called being a rebel without a clue. Enjoy your life where ever it may lead you.

Of course. That's basic human psychology at work there.
The only problem, though, is if people know this about you and use it to manipulate you.

if someone tells me that i can`t jump from the empire state building without dieing, then i listen to them... but if someone tells me that i can`t do something and i know that i can then yes, it makes me more determined..

well I'm 12, there are many people who tell me i can't do anything, but i know that i will get better at it if i try, considering my age.... and even if i don't, well I'm not going to be upset about it, you can't be good at everything.....

if i already wanted to do it yes it does. if they're saying i'm not capable of doing it that would just piss me off, and i would have to prove them wrong.
if i didn't want to do it anyway then no. i don't let people goad me into doing things i don't want to do.

That would depend on whether "it" was worth the extra effort.
