If a job, hobby or love starts getting in the way or clouding
your direction in life, stop. Take a deep breath. Reevaluate. If something
starts making you question your calling, your Big Dream, no matter how good or
right or possible it sounds, cut it back. Prune. Step back before you lose all
sound judgment and reasoning. Ask people you trust. Talk to people who know and
have seen what your Big Dream does to your heart and soul. Don’t lose focus. People will talk.
Ignore it. Their Big Dream isn't yours. Yours isn't theirs.
And that, my Dear, is a good thing.
