Expect Opposition

No dream is too high for those with their eyes to the sky.

Have you ever noticed how some people are dream demolishers? They may not do it intentionally, but nonetheless these individuals seem to have a way of taking all the air out of your balloon before you even have a chance to let it fly. Whenever you have a goal or dream and you share it with others, you open yourself up to ridicule and condemnation. There are many cynics out there who do not have goals. They are satisfied drifting along, taking the path of least resistance and hurling negative aims at others. They are comfortable with mediocrity; not at all interested in creating positive change. People such as this, build themselves up trying to pull others down.

When someone tries to cut down your dream, your idea, or goal, ignore them. Dismiss their negative words. You will almost always encounter opposition in life. Be prepared for it. Whatever course you decide upon, there will be someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising, which tempt to believe your critics are right.

To map out a course of action and follow it until the end takes courage ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
