>>>Often a person who has a goal in mind gets discouraged by others or even convinced their goal is pointless. As the world leading foremost knowledgeable crytpozoologist I to have had a few down times. Believe it or not some people tend not to believe in cryptids (mark roth) and cast judgment on my interest. Click here for a great example.
….If the goal ends up winning the game, then why would you let others hold back the victory? When a fellow person is casting down your dream just let their words encourage you to try harder and achieve your goal. There are a thousand stories of folks having problems, trials, and attempts before finally hitting their goal (J.C. Penny, Henry Ford, Peter, Paul, Walt Disney, etc), so don’t be the billion others who gave up.
….Remember only you can prevent forest fires. I think what Smokey really means is only you can stop shy of accomplishing your goals. Don’t give up and love the Lord.
