So, we've all had those spontaneous moments of thinking that we can be or do absolutely anything… and then reality sets in. Well, I’m here to tell you that you can still do those things. Now, if we are talking about flying or having some type of super power, that may be a problem in itself, but I still say go for it, bud. I'm talking about our career goals, relationship goals, life goals—if you see yourself being happy and consider that your own measure of success, then I say go for it—after all, nothing and nobody is holding you back beside yourself.
Our society nowadays is so quick to deter others from reaching exponential heights out of fear that they may succeed further or faster than we do ourselves, and that's no way to be. We should be nothing but enthusiastic and encouraging toward others to help them reach their goals.
Now, how do I go about pursuing my passion and ignoring the naysayers?
Firstly, address what it is that you want to achieve; think extraordinarily, no limits. Then question why you think that this goal or act is worthy. How will this benefit you or others, why does this one thing make you happy? Figuring out the worth in the beginning makes it all worthwhile for you to continue and follow through until completion.
Secondly, lay out a game plan. Think of how to achieve this goal in easy, step-by-steps moments. Don't let what others may think or the potential workload loom over you while planning—if you see A, B, C to be the best course of action rather than X, Y, Z, then go for it!
Lastly, follow through. Follow that plan that you set in place and don't become discouraged. If you do get in a lull, go back to those reasons why you are doing what you are doing. This is why I stress knowing your “why” is so very important.
In the end, it is your life, they are your goals, your ambitions, and you will follow them as you please—but I encourage you to not give up, to keep fighting, and to do what makes you genuinely happy.
