Every time we try to follow our dreams or every time we try to do something new, one question never leaves our mind.
"What will People Say?"
Lao Tzu (a great Chinese philosopher) once said "care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner"
The simple solution to this is to stop focusing on the things you can't control and start focusing on the things you can control. period.
If you follow your dreams or not. if you try new things or not. People will talk. period. In the wise of Aristotle (father of political science)
"the only way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing and be nothing"
So stop worrying and start dreaming. Follow the journey of your dreams. it's never too late to start living a life you love.
