First of all, you are going off the worn and clear path.
This will be questioned.
People will be skeptical.

Youll be advised against it.
This is not because you are incapable, but because the people watching you are scared.
When youre walking as one with the crowd hitting standard milestones, doing whats expected you go unnoticed.
Deciding to leave that makes you vulnerable, because it makes you seen.
What this means is that you will be criticized at almost every turn.
People wont understand, and they wont give a shot to.
But it doesnt matter.
That is the honest truth about following your dreams that almost nobody wants to hear, let alone accept.
Sure, others might doubt you.
They might question your motives, and your trajectory.
But at the end of the day, there will be nothing holding you back quite like yourself.
You are going to have to be your own biggest believer, fan, investor and cheerleader.
This will be even more important if nobody else is doing that yet.
That requires mental agility.
Most importantly, that requires resilience.
Other people will love you.
They will love the work you do.
They will be inspired by the life you build.
Keep forging a path in the darkness, and hold a torch.
Lead the way for others to follow, to see that they can create their own paths, too.
It will not always be easy, but neither would settling for a lukewarm life you never really love.
You choose your hard.
