Your passion is your potential. And don't let anyone rob you of that, no matter who they are. Sometimes people may discourage you. Sometimes people just won't understand your passion. Sometimes people may even be jelous of your passion. Sometimes people may tell you you can't reach your potential because they can only see you from the outside and can't see your drive that is inside you. But if you believe in yourself and ignore those discouraging comments you will succeed in your dreams. Because the only person who can truly stop you from getting there is yourself. Sometimes what they say can really get to you. I've experienced it myself. But never believe it because it's not true and they can't stop you. You may not get there on your first go. But it's not the end. It may take you many, many attemps before you get there but you will. Even if it feels like you won't. And when you do you will be able to show all those people who told you you couldn't they were wrong!
