Tell more people about your goals.
Enjoy the support and encouragement you get, but tell more and more people until you’ve got a handful that tell you the goal is dumb or that it’s fat chances you achieve it or they go on a listicle of the struggles you’ll face (ultimately persuading you to drop the pursuit).
It’s amazing fuel to say in your head “Fuck you. I’m proving myself right.”
