One of the hardest things to overcome when following your dream is the urge to give up. It’s hard to go against the grain and follow your own path – the one that makes sense to you that no one else understands. But everyone who has been successful will say it: they have failed multiple times but the key was to never give up.

One thing I’ve noticed over my lifetime is that sometimes it’s hard for the people who have been a part of your life or previous career to accept that you’re moving on. I understand it because there have been many times I’ve wanted to follow my dream but I’ve not had the opportunity to do so. People move on, things change. And we are creatures of habit – we don’t like change. And unfortunately even resentment can come into play.

There will be those who purposefully disengage because you are no longer a part of their life – it’s hard but you have to realize this and don’t let it stop you or hinder your forward momentum. Perhaps they will come back at some later time. Stick to your path and continue moving forward.

Keep going. Pray for them; but you stay on your ordained path. You can better your life and maybe reach a level where others can learn from you and you can give back in many valuable ways to others who need your knowledge and wisdom to better their own situation.

So just a word of encouragement for you today sweet people:

God’s got you. Keep going, everything will be alright. You’re one step closer to fulfilling your dream~
