These people can sometimes be strangers, friends and even sometimes family members. Sometimes those voices can chip away at your confidence. Here are 5 reasons why your should follow your own inner voice.
1. Your dream is yours, not theirs.
Some people don’t understand you vision even when you explain it to them. Most times they’re not educated on the career you’re pursuing anyway. Most of them once had a dream of their own that was not fulfilled or they just gave up on it. Most people that are living out their dreams understand the struggle and commitment it takes to make it. Your experiences are uniquely your own.
2. Winners Take Risks
No one said this would be easy. If it were, everyone would be successfully doing it. Success rarely comes from those who play it safe. The reality is that very few people understand this.
3. No regrets
If you decide to give up on your passion, make sure it that you were not pressured by negative outside forces when you come to that conclusion. When it’s all over, it’s best to you gave it a try than to live with “what ifs”.
4. The Vapors
