When you do something different, most people think you’re a fool.
You can either:
- Believe what they say, follow their advice, and forget your idea.
- Or trust your idea, decide for yourself, and give it a try.
Most parents might disagree because it feels unsafe for their children. Your boss might discourage you for many reasons. Some of your friends would be unsupportive because for them, it’s just wasting time.
The good news is, there’s no need for anyone’s approval anymore (it’s the information age).
If you want to start a business, you can just Google, “How to start a business with a little to no budget.”
If you want to start a non-profit organization, Google “Tips to start a non-profit organization.”
If you want to travel the world for free, then search for “How to travel the world for free.”
Of course success isn’t guaranteed. In fact, it’s possible that they’re right… that you’re probably wasting your time.
But when you give your ideas a try, even though you’re aware of the risks and the uncertainties, that is fulfilling.
Nobody said it’s easy. And it can be tempting to just forget those dreams, and stay inside the box, and be normal.
The question is: Is that a life worth living?
It’s sad to hear many people gave up on their dreams without even taking the first step.
Try it. Because who knows?
