Dreams Belong to The Rebels.

Don’t take advice from people who refuse to grow.

I bet you have dreams.

I bet you have also met people who try to belittle them. And I bet it sucks.

It is impossible to count how many times I confided in someone my plans and hopes for the future only to be called delusional for having those desires in the first place.

Constant criticism can hijack your sense of self. We need to get good at responding to it.

People will tell you that your dreams are irrelevant.

They will try to convince you “you are fooling yourself” by thinking you can have whatever you want.

Those people gave up on their visions a long time ago. They chose safety and predictability. They did not choose to grow.

And they want you to do the same. They feel threatened by your big dreams. And people who feel intimidated will try to diminish your self-worth.

Why would you take advice from those who refuse to be more and do more?

Why would you stop believing in yourself just because they never did?

People fear desire. To desire means to be aware of not having something.
