"It cannot be done", they said. Well who are they and what accomplishments do they have that it qualifies them to tell others what can and cannot be done?
Many times we live our lives through the narrative of others be it industry experts, influencers, celebrities, friends and even our own parents.
You need to realize that everyone has their own narrative, their own opinion and you need to discover yours and be faithful to yours. Most of the time we live according to what other people have said and what they have done. Most of the time they are just winging it and through chance they become successful then they tell you an elaborate story about how they knew it was going to work and come out with steps to success. It's all chance, there's no formulae do not let anyone lie to you.
