So many times we get caught up looking at what others see, think or feel. When you have a dream, vision or goal that you want to achieve but lack the support don't give up. Stay focused on the end result, not everyone will support you but it is your responsibility to keep pushing. I know at times when you feel the ones closest to you isn't interested in supporting you, you begin to doubt yourself. You can't allow things to blur your vision or cloud your sight. If no one supports you support yourself, if what you are doing is your passion keep doing what your doing and watch the changes arise. You have to be diligent in what it is that is planted deep within you what's in your soul. If you never make a dollar off of what you are doing but it pleases you to continue with your passion. It will be at that moment that you will start to see the change.
Often we don't want to do that in which we are called to do because we aren't making money at it. But look at it like this; I love what it is that I am doing and if it can help someone in the process than I am happy. I have been writing for years and I have made some money writing poetry, but to hear someone say " I was having a rough time and read one of your poems and it lifted my spirits", that my friend was worth more than the price of any book sale.
I'm not saying you shouldn't desire you make money off your gifts and talents. I'm just saying don't let it become the only reason why you are perusing your dream. At the end of the day you are satisfied with yourself and what you have accomplished then it was well worth the effort.
Keep striving to achieve your dreams and don't allow anyone else opinions to influence your drive. Pray about it and most of all never let it die like I always say "Pray...Until...Something...Happens".
What every your definition of success is don't stop until you achieve it and once you achieve it set another goal. Never just settle keep moving forward and find someone else you can invest in. As always be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
