We have all had them. Hopefully, most you pursued. And many have likely been abandoned due to doubt.
Yet doubt is not akin to those dreams. Instead, doubt is the voice holding us back; in many situations, it is not ours.
The naysayers will exist, not because they do not believe they are capable but mostly because they are jealous or have had their dreams quelled. Through failure, lack of persistence, or no real commitment. As a child, coaches told Lionel Messi he was too small and would never amount to much as a footballer, and yet today he features in the debate of the greatest of all time -GOAT. All it took was his own belief and a few who did believe.
Our dreams are ours, and no one should ever be responsible for changing the course of what we desire unless it is to lead you to a new vantage point that reveals to you a level you have never seen before.
