"There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed."- Ray Goforth.
When the voices of reasoning comes echoing from afar or from within, it is mostly in a pair. The world has two types of people who help make the world go round. The world always goes round and you should know, but the deposits it leaves in its trail is what matters.
When you are onto something good, you will be met by two people, "the ones who do not believe in you" and "the ones who believe in you but are scared.
Let's break it down:-
The ones who do not believe in you, are pitiful and sad in nature. They do not believe in you because, they have written you off in their own understanding, figured you out before you even started. They know for sure you will never amount to anything because they may be using history, present and economic status to size you up.
The ones who are afraid you will succeed really do believe in you, but because of their negativity, they cannot just comfortably deal. So, they do all they can to ensure you do not go beyond where you stand. When you come forth with some good plans, they will do whatever it takes to kill it before they even hear you talk about it.
You see, I have always maintained that, "Your dreams are valid and you do not need anyone's validation to pursue your dreams."
Go out today and do whatever it takes to make an impact. Expect the two types of people mentioned in the quote and when they come, pry on their intelligence.
