Day 46 and 47
Going day by day, explaining details on this journey may be too much. It’s getting hard to filter the value I want to share, and the excess details. I may approach this differently by not documenting every day, but rather spontaneously throughout the week, skipping some days as I have many other things going on in my life too. I’ll blog about key messages I think are really worth sharing. I still want to be consistent in putting out content.
The message I want to share in this post is this:
My mom can’t believe that I’m at school all day (not in class though when I don’t have it, I’m in the libraries or workspaces around campus working on my passion project aka my business). Basically, if I’m there’s class I’m definitely there but after hours, I’m working on my business. This morning she was mad at me for being not at home. She says, “I can’t believe a part-time student is at school all day”. Lesson is, people won’t understand. Even the people you want to count on understanding. And that’s okay. It hurts, it’s painful but that’s okay. If I please her by staying home all day, or behave too well, I won’t be able to accomplish MY goals. I know that for a fact.
This video also brought me back to my other blog post “Essence of Entrepreneurship”, when my sister and her husband were telling me that the venture I’m taking on is super hard. I love them, but with all do respect, if it was easy then everyone would be doing it.
There is no set path to success and happiness. Each person has got their version of it. And for as long as we’re too concerned about meeting everyone else’s/society’s standards/expectations of how it should be, we’re never going to achieve pure, genuine happiness and success in life.
