Don't just follow your passion, support it!
I have recently had a few people in my life question and ridicule my passion. The old me would have just said "ok, well you're entitled to your opinion", but a lot of the time that hasn't been working for me.
If people laugh or mock what you are doing, I have found it is generally for a few reasons - fear of the unknown, knowing nothing about what it is (and not wanting to admit that), and caring what others' opinion is.
I am SLOWLY learning that instead of being upset or annoyed by their opinions, I listen with compassion, and if they are willing to listen as to why I am so passionate, that's awesome. If not, I will go to people who are, and they are always around and supportive. You learn after time who those people are, and WHO they actually are may surprise you.
Thank you for supporting one of my passions, just by being present on this page. I hope to be able to support you too. Kristy xo
