You will have a fight with your family. A deep argument, a very deep argument. They will think of you as someone who is going crazy. Your family wants the safest thing for you, they don't want you to get hurt, they will never understand you especially if your dream is very hard. They will demotivate you and will try to stop you. At first you will have a lot of arguments with them but once they are seeing something good happening... they will start to believe you and support you. So the best thing to do is just keep moving forward and never try to argue your case with them. If they got truly mad because you didn't follow them then you can leave if you can, you can follow your own path and get focus on it. There are some things that you they don't understand and will never understand, it is only you who knows what is really going on. So keep fighting for your dream, keep pursuing greatness, sometimes you will find yourself alone because no one believes in you anymore but that is what greatness is all about... fighting and moving forward even if no one is beside you to support you.
Even you will doubt yourself. Because it's too hard, you will even doubt yourself, you will even think about quitting. You will even think about going back, you don't know what to do, you're panicking and you have regrets. You are thinking about what if if you only just follow your parents and swallow your pride, you are thinking about what if you just play safe and never risk it all. But it's, ok, you're already too far to quit, you already achieved a lot. It's too late to go back now. It's ok to doubt yourself, it is normal. You can't be always believing yourself 24 hours a day, there will be times when you will really doubt yourself because of the tough situations that you are experiencing. It's part of being great because all great people have doubted themselves before. Always keep in mind that if you really want it then your faith will go back, you will be able to restore the trust in yourself and keep moving forward.
They already judge you that you're going to fail. People already judged you before even trying, they already think that you will never be able to make it because your dream is too impossible. But that is part of being great.. proving them wrong and still continuing your journey even if all people are doubting you. Accept that not all people will believe you. Even your closest friends will never think that you're going to win. You are the only one who understand yourself.
You will get a lot of criticisms. A lot of hate, a lot of mockery, a lot of critics. You will experience all of these negative things. It's part of being great... enduring all the opinions from other people, you just do what you need to do regardless of what people say.
You will sacrifice a lot of your time for your dream. There are lot of birthday celebrations that you will miss, you will miss the reunion party, Christmas party or whatever party there is. You will own your time and give lesser of it to people.
Greatness is really painful, stressful and doubtful. That is why only few people can become great. It's not about feeling good, it's about feeling the pain and still managing to continue your journey.
