Everyone thinks they’re the expert on your life and loves to give you advice. Most of it is complete garbage.
Here are 15 of the most popular nay-saying tips and why you can tell them to shove it.
1. Your dream is unrealistic. What’s unrealistic is trying to live your life working at a job you don’t love doing something you hate for the rest of your life while regretting trying to live your dream.
2. You’re screwed if it doesn’t work out. No, you’re not. In fact, the worst possible scenario is that you go back to what you would be doing if you hadn’t pursued your dream. That’s the worst possible scenario.
3. You weren’t cut out for that. Who’s to say that? If you don’t fit the stereotype for your dream then you’re the one to break the mold. You will stand out.
4. You can follow your dream someday. Someday will never come. Follow your dream today.
5. Only a few people “make it.” That’s because they lack the drive, determination, and will that you have. You’re one of the few.
6. You should just be safe and get a job. In fact, a job is even more dangerous than pursuing your dream. Not only do you feel terrible doing something you don’t want to do, but with two simple words your livelihood can change. “You’re fired.” When you’re pursuing your dream, you’re the only one that can stop you.
7. That’s impossible. Yes it’s impossible. For them. Not for you though, because you can dream and make it real. Stop Dreaming Start Action
8. You would have to go through so much work to do that. Yeah, but you’re willing to do it. You know what you want and you know what you have to do to get there. To you it’s not work, it’s what you want to do with your life.
9. You don’t need a backup plan. Yes, you do. Even if it’s just for supplemental income, use your talent or perfect your dream by doing something that may not be the exact same, but is related. It’s always better to be good at two things than one.
10. It’s a one in a million chance. No, actually, it’s probably less. But it doesn’t matter to you, because you know you’re going to do it. That’s what really matters.
11. Bad things will happen. Failures are just steps towards success. Any successful entrepreneur will tell you that. If you can’t handle failure, then success is going to be very difficult to achieve.
12. You won’t be able to live off that. If you can do it and find an avenue that will pay you for it, then yes you can live off of your dream. Even people who can fit into a box found an market for their talent that people would pay them to perform.
13. You’re going to be the next “BLANK.” No, you’re not. You’re going to be the next YOU. Don’t follow the mold, be different. Be yourself.
14. That’s a lot of pressure. Of course there is; it’s your life. That doesn’t matter to you though because you’re willing to take it on and make it your own.
15. You have to do this, this, and this, to do that. Wrong. Follow what you believe and find your own way to achieve your dream. Studying those who have succeeded in the same field helps, but copying won’t get you anywhere.
If you can disregard these bits of “advice” people give you, you’re well on your way to succeeding.
Don’t let their jealousy and worry get you down.
Now go own the world.

Pursuing Your Dream
Everyone wants to get satisfaction out of his or her job. After all, we spend so much time at work. But it's a little hard to achieve if you're pursuing someone else's dream and not yours. There's nothing like having to drag yourself into work day in and day out if it is giving you little meaning. Stop Dreaming Start Action
To be successful, you have to be honest with yourself about what you truly want. Stop Dreaming Start ActionMany people lose touch with what they want. Still others have never considered their own genuine desires.
Now is a good time to stop and ask what will give your work life meaning.
Maggie Craddock, executive coach and author of The Authentic Career, sees her share of clients who don't have a clue. For some, what they really want has never even occurred to them.
"To achieve your career goals, you must be clear about what they are and why they are meaningful for you," she says. Therefore you need to create a work life that is in tune with your talents and desires.
Here, Craddock offers a few tips to help you find your way:
* Separate your desires from goals dictated by others. It's about what you want, not what they want.
* Distinguish your personal values from those of your family and others in your life. Your parents, for example, may value ambition and a high-power career, but it may not be what you want.
* Likewise, make sure you are defining success, not as your parents or spouse define it.
* Make sure you are competing with your own best self, not with others -- such as siblings, peers or even your mate Stop Dreaming Start Action .
* Harmonize private desire with public goals. The things that give you joy and meaning should be in tune with your goals.
* Learn to use intuition and intelligence in tandem. Let them reinforce each other. This may help crystallize your vision.
* Understand the role that financial considerations have played in your career choices.
* Network and build peer support. This will help you see yourself more clearly.
* If you have a partner, formulate a fair and clear agreement concerning time spent on family and work. Make sure you want the same things in life.
* Know your emotional triggers. For example, if you have a boss who tends to blow up, don't set yourself up to be the target of his tirade. Otherwise it will trigger your own issues and further cloud your vision.
* Get in tune with your body. Physical responses such as shallow breathing and a rapid heartbeat may consume you in tense work situations. These responses suppress feelings and make it hard for you to see clearly.
* Even if you are reasonably content with your career now, know that the world keeps changing. Keep your eyes and mind open. Otherwise good opportunities may pass you by.
* If you have a dream, such as writing a novel, keep plugging away and don't be distracted. It's easy to say, "I don't have time."
