If you’re ever trying to do something in life that is outside the norm you’ll meet a few people on the way…
The people who help unconditionally; love them, thank them and never forget them
The people who discourage; love them, thank them and never forget them
The people who don’t care; they’re the easiest to deal with because you won’t remember you met them…
You’ll get a lot of advice…listen to all of it and throw away the useless stuff but never turn around and doubt yourself. Question yourself and the validity of what you’re doing but don’t doubt YOURSELF.
– A lot of people will tell you what you’re doing will never work. Those are the ones that have never tried nor even understand what it is you’re doing. Don’t listen to anything they have to say. They are afraid.
– A few people will warn you about pitfalls and give you sound advice on how to improve your goal and make it better but they will not actively help. They are wise. Take their advice. They’ve helped you more than most.
– Some will encourage you and do nothing more. Thank them but know that those are words and are only meant to be temporary.
– Others will encourage and go the extra mile to see your plan to fruition. Don’t let them down. They have faith in you as an individual and what you stand for. Don’t let their faith be misplaced.
– Then you will find maybe one who understands your vision before it comes to light; Before all the pieces fall into place. Value that person and never diminish their value. They will be your only light, your only candle. The only thing that is consistent the whole way through.
