Not everyone is willing to do something different. It’s strange. It’s something new. It doesn’t feel normal. 

Not everyone can do it. Not everyone is willing to sacrifice other things for it. Whether that’s starting your novel, learning a skill, starting a business, or learning an instrument. Not everyone will do it. 

It’s hard. If it were easy, everyone would do it. Everyone would be rich. Everyone would be in shape. We would all drive Lamborghinis. 

Remember that when you’re doing your work. You’re in a limited group of individuals. People willing to go against the grain. Make something. Bring something new into the world. Do something different.

Be proud of that. Let that fact drive you. Then become one of the select few who accomplish what they’ve started. Once you do it once, you’ll inspire confidence in yourself. You can accomplish anything.

Don’t worry about what other people are doing. Focus on what you can do today. What you can do right now. Don’t let others doubt creep in. 

People will judge you for trying something different. You’re not going to please everyone. Focus on doing your best work. The rest will fall into place. 

 “If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” -Michael Jordan
