How brave is it to try to be what you want to be, when so many people tell you it's impossible and you can't, that you're foolish to try?

Sometimes you want to be like those you read about, see on TV, on stage and in the movies, but then so many other people want the same things. Sometimes you want to be something you've never seen before and there's no one doing it or has ever done it before, because you are unique, different and strange. Imagine how brave it must be to follow that lonely path. 

Imagine wanting to be a painter, so you paint everyday and no one buys your paintings until years after your death. But you still kept going. Why?

You keep going! For what purpose? It must be so painful.

Can you find happiness doing what you love even though it brings you no money to support your life?

Can you honestly give up all outside things that would only distract you from that path you want to walk?

Can you truly devote yourself to that calling when the pressures of life pull on you?

It's so much easier to give up, isn't it? But imagine what everyone else would miss.
