I had this experience where someone basically was giving me advice not in line with my new found dreams, desires and goals and this person said to me that I was my own problem. But my question is how can you say that if you've no idea about what I am doing? Now I am one to listen to advice, so I'm not saying don't listen to advice. I had finally gotten to a place where I'm able to push past my fears so I wasn't willing to back down on my convictions which made same person say " you are set in your ways". Hurray finally I'm doing something I'd only dreamt about, and it's coming off as that "Great". Don't get me wrong find people who you admire and have an idea of what you are about and listen to all they have to say and choose the ones you need. But never listen to Nay sayers unless it's to prove them wrong.
