Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Do not let the noise of other people's opinions overshadow your own inner voice, the voice of your heart and intuition.
Bad advice that people around you will give you when you decide to finally achieve your dreams.
Unfortunately, before you take the first step towards your dream, the people around you, even those who truly love you, will give you terrible advice. This is not because they have some kind of malicious intent. This is all because they don't see the big picture - what your dreams, passions, and goals mean to you. They don't understand that the price is worth the risk to you.
Therefore, they try to protect you, protecting you from possible failure, thus, among other things, protecting you from achieving their goal.
As Steve Jobs once said:
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't fall into the trap of moralizing by living in harmony with the thoughts of others. Do not let the noise of other people's opinions overshadow your own inner voice, the voice of your heart and intuition. They somehow know who you really want to be. Everything else is secondary."
Here are 10 bad tips that people around you will give you when you decide to finally achieve your dreams:
1. You may one day fulfill your dream, but now you need to get down to business seriously and remember about responsibility
"One day"? It is when? "Once upon a time" - not even a period of time! This is a vague generalized concept that, most likely, will not come at all. Today is the only time that you are guaranteed to have. Today is the only day you can start changing your own life. And making dreams come true is the essence of life. So don't be so irresponsible - don't wait "one day"! Make today the first day of your new life.
2. If you fail, it will be a complete failure
Not true! This is the most commonplace nonsense! Even if you fail, you won't be completely fiasco. The worst case scenario is you just go back to what you are doing now.
3. It is safer to stay in your current job
Of course it is safer. It's even safer to lock yourself in your home and never go outside! In this case, you can confidently put an end to all your dreams of a better life. Remember, safer doesn't mean better.
4. This is impossible
It’s impossible only if you don’t do anything. The reason people think something is impossible is that no one has done it yet. Bye. But this does not mean that with your help something like this will not become real in the future. If you are determined to have a positive outcome, almost anything becomes possible. You just need to want it badly enough.
5. Only real lucky ones can do this
This is because the “real lucky ones” have lifted their fifth point and started doing something! They are full of enthusiasm, determination and willpower - just like you are now. You can be one of them. All in your hands!
6. You can fail, which is very bad
Failures are simply roadside stones on the road to success. It doesn't matter how it ends, because everything will happen the way it should. If you don't achieve your goal the first time, you will still learn a lot. The biggest mistake you can make is to do nothing because you are afraid to make a mistake. If you can't deal with failure, it's unlikely that you can handle success.
7. You don't have access to all the resources you need
It's not about the resources you don't have, but about using the ones you have. For example, Stevie Wonder hadn't seen it, so he used his hearing along with his passion for music to make his dream come true. He currently has 25 Grammy Awards. It seems that comments are superfluous.
8. You need to save up more money before you take the first steps
You don't need money. You need a good plan. You need a budget. Cut down on all your secondary waste. If achieving your dream requires you to quit your regular job, then you need to calculate the minimum income you need for your life. It will also be helpful to learn from the experiences of people who have achieved their goal in a similar financial situation. Don't think you need to save up more money or quit your job. You have to ask yourself, "What steps do I need to take with this amount of money and these resources to get closer to my dream?"
9. You don't need anyone's help. It would be wiser to do everything yourself
"Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are." We are the common denominator of those people with whom we communicate every day. If you hang out with bad people, they negatively affect you. But if there are “right” people in your circle of communication, you are able to become much stronger next to them than alone. Find your company and work with it to make a difference in the lives of each of you.
10. But this will require a lot of work …
This is true! But that doesn't mean it's not worth it. Success is based on one key point: finding challenging jobs that you love. As long as you are honest with yourself, follow your own interests and dreams, you will be able to achieve success. And, more importantly, you will not wake up one fine day in a few years with the thought, "How am I depressed by my work, and how will I do this for the next 30 years ?!" So if you work hard and enjoy every minute, don't stop. You are doing something really worthwhile for yourself. After all, the hardest work does not seem tedious if it is your life's work, your dream.
Ignore such nonsensical and overwhelming advice and feel free to follow your dreams!
