Thread: Family r trying to stop me....

I got a fine arts degree. My dad was upset for years that I didn't go to be a teacher. (yuck, I'm a terrible teacher)
Now I own my own business, work from home and live a good life. I put my time in and I work hard but it's rewarding. And now I have the success and freedom to travel and do sports and all the things I like outside of work.

I also did it all on my own. Student loans, 2 and sometimes 3 jobs while in school. It was tough and I was flat broke, living on cereal and rice for years. But it was all worth being able to do what I wanted, what made me happy and what I was good at. It paid off.

Follow your heart and work hard, you're family can't argue with that.

Let it be your challenge. Strive hard and persevere. Distractions are in the way for sure, could help you in the right moment, but most of the time, would hinder you in stepping to the next level.

You have what it takes. Sourpuss did, so will you. Be true to yourself and follow where your heart leads you. They may not understand you now, but when you go out there, explore and find yourself, you will succeed. Then, they will understand you.

Prove that you can, first to yourself, then to them.
