I figured with 2 lengthy novels under my belt and co-authoring a 3rd book I would get a different response from friends and family who continue to try and "reel" me back to reality and keep my goals at a more "realistic" level. I'm sick of it. I do ignore it but it doesn't go unnoticed.
Do I think big?
Sure.
I have set goals and accomplished them time and time again - where others have failed - yet I continue to receive SHIT and Diarrhea of the Mouth about how my goals are a bit unrealistic and I need to look at things more realistically.
I know I shouldn't allow myself to get down because of this. In most cases I don't, but it gets FRICKIN' OLD FAST FOLKS. I even had someone tell me now that I got my book writing out of my system to get out of the clouds and come back to reality and find a real job and actually earn a paycheck.
WTF is wrong with people?
I would never... and I mean NEVER... say this to another person.
They act like they're doing me a favor. Like they are saving me from myself. Is there anyone else here who has experienced this sort of behavior. Aside from repeatedly ignoring such uneducated drivel, what else can you do? I need and I want a better support system. I just don't have it. Everyone is working against me and wishes me to fall inline with a 9-5er rather than pursue my dreams.
It's like they want me to fail just to make themselves look good.
Okay... I got that off my shoulders for now. I just don't get people man. I want to inspire others, not drag them down into the mud where most of society resides...
