Some fine day, you will come across this. You tell your friends, family members and love ones about your goals, your dreams and they doesn’t seems to be supportive of it. Instead they tell you this :”Please get your soul back and come back to earth and be realistic and down to earth.” You feel sad, disappointed but inside you, you have this fire, burning inside you that you can’t describe, now you are at a cross road, two ways, one is to give up and listen to them, the other is to go ahead and just do it, either way, you choose, it’s your life anyway.
In the following example, it is a real life example that I had gone through and I am going to tell you what had happened.
Most of my friends around my age, plus minus 1-3 years old, most of them have got a girlfriend, boyfriend, husband and wife. Mostly got married, have a job, have a house and a car. They have their commitments, that I understand. But now, here is the deal, they are in a different state of mind then mine. I am still single as of this date, I don’t have this kind of commitment and I would seriously like my mum to stop working in 2-3 years time. I want my family members have a good life ahead. My friends mostly are quite stable in that sense of survival and having a good family life and I am happy for them.
I am starting to have a very different thinking between them cause I believe I can achieve more for myself and I will not settle for the less than I can do. They doesn’t agree or even support the idea of mine and at the point of them, same thing, two ways, listen to them and give up or keep going doing the things that I had put in years to learn and master which I believe in the next 3-5 years, I will be more better off than them. One thing thou, I am not trying to compare between friends as that isn’t good thou. What I am trying to drive at is that if you have a dream, a goal, plan, take massive actions and go for it, if you think that goal is really what you want dearly for a reason strong enough for you to keep at it long term and never give up! It’s not easy and I promise you, it’s one hell of a road but the fruits is there at the end of the road for you to enjoy, are you willing to do it? Ask yourself many times over and if the answer is still a Yes, Keep Going and you will not be deny!
My friends are in a state mind of in a comfort zone and life will be like that for them as time goes by. I don’t want to settle for less, I believe I can achieve more than that and I am at it for more than 3 years now. I will not give up forever until the day I leave this world.
Give yourself a pat on the back as nobody else will.
