Discouragement

Sometimes, when we tell someone about an ambitious project we’re planning, they’ll respond with a tone of apprehension. “Don’t start too big.” “Don’t get too far ahead of yourself.” “Maybe try something smaller to start?”

Often, this kind of response has more to do with the speaker than our plans.

Those who say, “be careful not to dream too big” ... they are not enrolled in your journey. It might even be that they’re anxious about their own abilities to dream big.

Don’t listen to those who want to limit you. You’ve got big ideas, and there’s no time for the disbelievers.
