Earlier this year, a colleague shared something that made me really think: “You can’t tell everyone your dreams.”
She was so right. There are some people unable to understand what you want to do and others unwilling to understand. When you seek their advice, it may leave you worse off than before you asked them. You start to doubt your dreams, and that’s never good.
