Sometimes when they tell you to venture out to see something new, it may just be the thing you are looking for, craving for or something that you turn out to like or love.
While this stands, a lot of the times there will be a crowd and you often find this with close or large families or people that are nosy in general and haven't accomplished much themselves. They find it approved or very necessary to tell you something about you that is very wrong in their perspective or that whatever you are doing is not going to work, that they have lived longer and know better than us.
I want to encourage you to not worry about those people. They have worthless countless words that have no value if you don't allow it. I know for me I am doing something that is very different, out of the box and there is no position title to it. As an Indian girl born in Dubai, I am pretty much asked to live the life that any Indian girl would be asked to live. Even as a youngee (youngster) I knew I was searching and looking for something different, wanting to live differently and achieve something that was out of the ordinary. I am still on a path of achieving something that has not been thought of before on my side of the world.
So when the crowd tries to drive you up the wall, stand for what you believe in. Let people's comment and opinions be only that and nothing more. The voices will dim down and you will get to where your heart has longed to get.
At the same time, you achieving anything cannot be about taking revenge or showing those that have hurt you or those that not supported you in your decisions that you got there. According to Philip Baker's book, "Decisions of Daring Acheivers", a research shows that ten percent will disagree with you on any decision you make.
What you heart is burning to do and achieve, do it because that is the call on your life and that God has helped you get there. All the negative people and the obstacles along the way helped you stand even more for what you believe in, than get agitated and get lost in translation.
In your present situation, if there is a crowd driving you up the wall with every small decision that you make, remember to make them stepping stones to your step forward, allow them to say their words, consider what you think you need to consider and let the rest go and walk on with confidence and joy in your heart.
Last thing I want to say, be ready to do the work. Otherwise, its a dream unachievable!
When the crowd drives you up the wall, whatcha gonna do?
PS. try some hot Kool aid! :P
