Opinion
I have had people tell me that the path that I am taking to isn't for me, that my choice to work for myself and obtain my financial independence can't be done. I have had friends and loved ones tell me that eventually I will fail and need to go back into the workforce to provide for myself and my family. I have been told that I am not smart enough, rich enough, in the right location, or good enough to reach my goals.
Believe it or not, the path that leads to your dreams may feel like a lonely one. Many people either out of doubt or jealousy will try or keep you down, to keep you from realizing your dreams. Even your own mind will try to dissuade from your goal. You must understand that all these things that people say to deter you are opinions.
It is an opinion that one cell phone company is better than another. It is an opinion that someone could never stop smoking. And it is an opinion that you will never reach your goals and become what you want to be.
Truth
The truth is that you were not put on this planet to be average, to be regular, to just get by. You were placed here to be the very best you can be. We follow the same basic rules as nature does, the only difference, is that we have a choice. A tree will grow as high and as strong as it can. It doesn't have doubts to this truth, it will grow as big as it can and push its roots as deep as it can. A seed that falls into a crack on a sidewalk will begin to grow, it doesn't care that the world thinks it's in the "wrong location", if left on its own, it will do everything it can to thrive.
The truth is, each of us has within us the ability to be whatever we want to be. Some goals may take longer to realize than others, but the truth of the matter is, the choice is there. You can be beat down by the opinions and assumptions that others have of you, or you can rise and see the truth that you can be what you are destined to be.
