No matter what you do in life, no matter what you find yourself excelling at, there will always be a few people around who don’t get it.
Maybe they don’t want to.
Maybe they are envious.
Maybe they are just plain ignorant.
Be careful to differentiate those seemingly to advise you, when in reality they are only discouraging you. They will make their unsuccessful experiences to be justifiable to make NOT to pursue your dreams; When you realize this is their agenda, start walking...
Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward.
The purpose of other people is to teach you nothing at all.
Nothing.
That's all they are here to teach you.
Nothing.
The faster you accept this, the slower you get to relax.
