Keeping Your Passion Alive!

This week's thought comes from a very real place for us...
"To avoid criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing," - Elbert Hubbard
To achieve anything great in life you kinda need to go out on a limb, risking the chance of criticism.
When something you do challenges the way other people live, while their motives may be pure, they often react in a very discouraging way. And it's simply because you're challenging everything they know and belief about the way the world should work.
Just know that the things you desire most are worth copping flack from other people for.
Achieving your dream is well worth going through a tough season.
At the time, criticism was unenjoyable for us, to say the least. But it's over, and critics are now humbled by our actions that speak loud volumes to those who thought going against the status quo was a bad idea.
Regardless of what you do, people will criticise, so you may as well be striving towards your personal dreams and visions.
Draw a line in the sand... be the hero in your story...
...regardless of what others might do or say.
...this way, you wont have any regrets.
