I wanted to see the adversity others have faced through their journey while merging into the Fastlane.
For me it has to be the ridicule: I have very supportive family and decent amount of supportive friends but some of my friends absolutely ridicule me and claim that whatever I try it won't work. Its been a hard part of the experience and its gotten to the point I don't want to discuss ideas in fear that I will get ridiculed. Criticism is fine to because it can be used as a way to show flaws in a system or idea and has a level of scrutiny but ridicule in my connotative definition is the criticism without a level of scrutiny, not for improvement but for destruction.
Another aspect of adversity is the fear of taking the next step. While it is important to push forward and keep going sometimes it seems scary and I even find myself asking "should I even do this?" when it is extremely beneficial.
Another thing is that I'm not getting the same things my friends have, they have stable jobs but compared to me I don't have a job. I spend most of my time trying to create ideas and implement them to aid others, but am not to the point of where it is extremely profitable.
Any words of Encouragement, Criticism, Similar Stories, or your own completely different circumstance is much appreciated
Thanks
