Run for your dreams!

-

when you got it made.

If you’re thinking that you will be happier to run your own future, and you believe you can pull it off, JUST DO IT. But remember, it is also important that you know what to do. You know you have the chance of success. You are willing to make that sacrifice. And most of all you are willing to absorb all the reproof and insults.

Emotional preparedne­ss helps you get through all their doubts and unbelief. If your friends do not support you, they are not your real friends. If your relatives or family members do not support you, work like any good father than grieve like an orphan. Don’t get disappoint­ed if no one supports you. At least it is clear to you who are and who are not your emotional resources. In other words, if you cannot get the support from the people you expect, find those who can. And if you still can’t find them, find inspiratio­n from the people who have made it through in the face of overwhelmi­ng rejection and failure.

I’ve seen people who have thrived in turbulence and being left out to tread their own solitary journey towards their goals. I had been in the same situation too. And if you happen to be also in it now, you must know how to “play deaf” so you don’t get so affected by what they say. Negativity from the people around you is not only hurting, it also kills your enthusiasm, and eventually, your dreams.

Remember, you are the author of your success. You are the star of your own story. Don’t let the bad characters — the crabs, the cold and the skeptics create the story for you. They are always out there to steal the show. They want to see you fail because they want to validate their theories about you and how wrong your pursuit was.

If you feel that you want to follow your calling as an entreprene­ur start building on it. Read and evaluate your chances. Do not be afraid to take risks. Do not be afraid to quit your job. And do not regret for making such decision. For as long as you are alive, you have all the chances to succeed.

You may not succeed now but you will succeed anyhow. Success does not always mean fruition of what you had started. Success also means rising from failure after failure. If you fail, keep rising. By rising you have already succeeded. Rising is a sign that you have profited from the learnings of failure.

In a way, no one actually fails if you just keep moving towards your goals and dreams. After all, our destiny is not always the achievemen­t of our goals but by how happy we are at what we are doing. Therefore, when you choose to become an entreprene­ur, think of it as a sport. You may not win right way but the race will always there and you will run along in the company of like-minded people who believe in the beauty of their own dreams and in the beauty of the race.

Entreprene­urship has its own life. It is in fact life itself. We are designed to become entreprene­urs, not a slave for all time. There is nothing wrong with work, it becomes wrong when we are not happy with it – when we remain as spectators of the race that we are supposed to be joining. Get out of your comfort zone.
