There's an huge challenge that faces dreamers.
What makes dreamers and people who pursue their goals unique is that they tend to go against the grain. Going the route of being popular seems to be all too shallow for them. They head in a direction where no trail has been created and see something that no-one else has made yet. While taking risks is challenging in it's natural right, it is even more difficult for the reason that dreamers also need to face the feedback of those who do not share their same zeal for the things that haven't been made yet.
Dreamers are faced with an incredible difficult decision to make: follow the crowd or decide to lead everyone on a path towards something greater.
Every single time a dreamer comes into the world with a grand vision for what is possible there are massive forces working against that same vision. The people in our world do not like to change and would rather follow what feels comfortable instead of living up to their maximum potential.
The one fundamental question that arises time and time again for dreamers is whether or not they should follow their gut feelings deep inside of them or fall back "into place" with the rest of society where it's comfortable and warm?
There's only one decision to be made.
If you would like to do something that hasn't ever been done you've got to leave the pack on your own and try things that have never been tried. In spite of any doubt that may exist in your mind, you have to move forward. Move forward with spirit and a deep sense of grit. When it is all cleared up, if the tide of life is on your side, you'll end up changing the world in one way or another.
The criticism will come, naturally, but that is just part of the game.
Despite all of this, continue to move forward and love creating for others. To give up on your dreams for the sake of being safe is not living a life at all.
