How often do you find yourself trying to explain your choices to people?

\\n

Justifying your choices to people sounds like the best thing to do until you realize how derailing it is. People can quickly talk you out of something you are passionate about because they do not share a common point of view with you. I remember when I decided to start this podcast and did it by myself. People were questioning why I was buying the equipment.\\xa0They did not appreciate my passion for it.

\\n

Take a moment and look back to when you decided to do something you love. Were people happy about it? Were they all clapping for you? Can I guess? It wasn\\u2019t easy at all. You had to set boundaries and shed off some people because you weren\\u2019t on the same page. It\\u2019s funny how we lose people dear to us when we chase our dreams.\\xa0

Today, I want to share reasons why you should stop explaining yourself to people and live your passion. This topic is easier said and done for many of us, but today we are here to change the narrative. Listen in and learn.
