The thing always happens that you believe in and the belief in the thing makes it happen.

Ultimately, if you don’t believe in what you are doing you’ve missed something. Accept that the voice is right and your dream is wrong. Let go of your dream. If it comes back it’s yours. If it doesn’t go deeper and try again. Examine your beliefs. Find out why you don’t believe. What’s the problem? Go deeper into the dream. Find your way out of the tunnel. Revise, focus, research, explore. Throw yourself in. This is you uncovering your life. It is sometimes challenging but it’s your just for you perfectly beautiful challenge.
The dream is in the making. and the making. and the making again.
