"Don’t let someone who gave up on their dreams talk you out of yours!" - Zig Ziglar

Stay in your lane, remain focused on where you are heading and avoid comparison at all costs.

As President Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the thief of joy!” When others ridicule, criticise and undermine you, simply smile, and keep going.

Often it is the people who gave up on their dreams, or in many cases never even had the courage to pursue them, that are the very ones who try to hold you back.

Not so much because they want you to miss out, but in fact because your progress and success will highlight to them, their own insecurities and missed opportunities.

Maintain conviction in yourself and your abilities to go after your dreams! Your dreams of today are your future reality!
