Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack the same courage to do what is right. It’s called the road less traveled.
I’d tell men and women in their midtwenties not to settle for a job or a profession or even a career. Seek a calling. Even if you don’t know what that means, seek it. If you’re following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointment will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you’ve ever felt.
The only walls that exist are those you have placed in your mind. And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved.
Our abstract thoughts regarding matters of fact are rarely always absolute. Confidence in the truth often can be applied in varying degrees of acceptance. In other words, we can accept something as basically true with some lingering doubt.
