To become great in any respect requires a certain sacrifice. Sometimes your decisions will not be very popular with the people around you, especially in your family. They may think you are reckless. Others will think you are a dreamer.
Others will not understand someone who lives with a purpose, you have an extra load that everyone has but few use. Proposals for you to leave will not be long in coming if you are in one of these cases: they will ask you to leave or to take a break. You know that you have to dedicate your time to the service of that purpose and what is outside of it does not make sense and you ignore it.
It is skepticism that makes people tell you that you are crazy or reckless. People who will not understand that you are moving in a definite direction. We come across that kind of thing so often. What helps me is knowing that there are only 5% of people with a clear objective, who know the beauty and the results of sacrifice.
"The price of success is hard work, dedication and the acceptance that whether we win or lose we have done our best to reach our goal."
