So...you refused to take that step (make that move), just because a friend (colleague, family member, loved one) who "cares so much" about you had asked "what if you fail"?
"what if it doesn't work"?
"why do you want to make a fool out of yourself"?
and then the ultimate question...
"what if you die in the process"?
When you have made a conscious decision to make a difference in life...you will need to think carefully about the people you will answer to in the course of the journey.
Every soldier answers to an officer or a Commander in chief; Every athlete (sports man/woman) answers to a coach; Every student answers to his/her lecturer.
So the question is...
"what is your objective...and by reason of that objective, who are you supposed to be answering to on your way to achieving that objective"?
To a civilian, the drills of a soldier is cruel, too hard and senseless...of course that's why s/he is not a soldier.
So...when did a non/under-achiever began counselling you on your dreams and aspirations? All she ever wanted was to have a first degree and you think she will understand why you need a PhD?
Friends, if they don't have outcomes in their lives (business/career) that's inspirational to you, think twice before you listen to them.
The same way iron sharpeneth iron...is the same way an ambitionless (all talk but no action) man is seeking for whom he will teach his ways.
"...Cast not away therefore your COURAGE (because of the counsel of a lazy man), because your COURAGE has GREAT RECOMPENSE OF REWARD..." Heb. 10:35 (KJV paraphrase are author's).
You will not fail!
Good morning and Happy New Week!
