Don't let someone who gave up their dreams, talk you out of yours.
There have been many times in my life and it's happened recently as well when people I know mock me and talk me out of pursuing a dream I've always had. They tell me to forget about it, give up. That its useless. I've always tried to surround myself with people who are optimistic (pretty hard to find I tell you) and in one way or another motivate me. To be the best I can be. But there's always that one person...
It's very hard when someone tells you that you aren't capable of doing something. The thought sticks in your head. It becomes a label. And then a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Recently a"friend" told me I couldn't do something, that I was just "full of optimism". She said "Too much is bad for you. Your losing touch with reality. Living in completely different world, you are" I understand that too much optimism isn't healthy. But she was talking me out of pursuing my dreams... I wasn't having that. And neither should any of you. Each and every one of you should devote yourself to an idea. Go and make it happen. Overcome your fears. Smile and remember:
This is YOUR dream.
