Of sound mind.
I would like to believe I am of sound mind. That's why when I tell people I am building a website and they look at me like I am crazy or a dreamer or have my head in the clouds or whatever, I remind myself that I am of sound mind.
When people come at me with all of their doubts, I remind myself that those are not my doubts.
When others try to convince me to just quit wasting my time on this silly nonsense, I remind myself that it is not silly nor nonsense.
We have a lot of people around here (where I live) that have lost hope. "Pipe dreams," they say, "those things are for the foolish."
"Don't quit your day job," they add, as they hobble away on the road of their own discouragement.
I not only want to be successful for me and my family, but for those doubters, too. I want them to have something to believe in—I want them to believe in hope, again.
I believe if even one person feels hope for their future because of my belief and my eventual success, then that hope can spread.
Let's be "spreaders" of hope for those who don't believe in it anymore!
Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. ~Desmond Tutu

Like this and it is so true. I live in such an environment so I keep it to myself what I am doing because I don't need that kind of discouragement. I know that I will eventally make it if I just do the work and don't give up.
I'm sorry you have people who discourage you. That's why we at WA are here—to encourage you!
Best wishes,

Yes, you are right on Karin. That's the way I see it. I take things in perspective. Your neighbor or whoever, have no idea what you are doing. As said on Kyle's post brink-n'-motor retails stores around us are not doing good. Why? Because of us.
The average person have no idea what's happening. Why do we think Amazon and the likes are growing at an exponential rate.
SIMPLE
Time have changed and your neighbors and the likes are not seeing "the light."
Thanks for your post, great!

Thanks, Frank! I live in a community of mostly older, retired people which is great, except when you try to explain something like this to them!
Thanks for your friendship!

How easy it is to listen to these doubts especially when things take a long time to fall in place, thank you for this reminder to keep my head up and keep moving.
best wishes to you too.
Yes, just keep your head up and keep moving forward! It is the best way to focus on what lies ahead of us!
Best wishes,

Looking upwards and downwards
one does not go without the other...
That's for sure. The darkness, the light... Up and down... Hand in hand they travel!
