Listen. I know. I know you are ambitious. I know that you have dreams. Not only one a couple of them! I know you have a vision. You are alive, you have not taken your life because you see something great in your future.
And I know what others tell you. I know their mentality. Your parents tell you to settle down. Your collegues make fun of you. Your roommates are not understanding the passion you have for certain things. And I know why. Not everybody sees the world as you see it. That is why these are your dreams. They are very personal to you and no one else can follow them. No one else might want to sacrifice things you are sacrificing to achieve them, but you are going to make them real. And no one, absolutely no one is allowed or should dare to tell you not to. You should not allow them. Not by arguing. The opposite by neglecting them. By ignoring them and not taken their opinions seriously. People have opinions and they are opinion-generating machines.
Listen. I have been there. When it gets hard to give up. When an obstacle jumps in front of you think about Plan B or changing your way. Or giving up totally on your pursuit
You only live once and this world f*cking owes you, your dreams. So whenever you felt giving up, whenever the death came to you and life felt unbearable, say to it, not today. Fight like a warrior. Fight like you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I was about to have up today. The work was horrible, it really broke me and on my way back I was seriously thinking to quit, and tell my manager as soon as tomorrow. But I reflected a while and this post came to my mind. So I decided to write and publish it. To remind myself first that I am not going to give up on my dreams. No matter how hard things get and how hopeless became. Because believe me, I almost gave up, I am tired and confused but I do what I know the best, standing strong and tall while fighting.
