Humans put a lot of things into consideration when trying or planning to achieve something, these things include time, funds, benefits, challenges, and others.
It is okay to put all these things into consideration because they will help you plan properly to avoid breaking down halfway through executing the plans. I got to know that people now put into consideration what the public thinks about whatever they want to accomplish.
It is not bad to seek people's opinions and ideas about whatever you are working on but allowing the negative thoughts of the public to stop you from attempting something legal that could turn your life around is a terrible mistake.
The first thing you need to understand is the fact that not everyone that smiles at you is happy to see your progress in life, what kind of opinion do you expect from someone who wants to see you fall? It would be a discouraging one, they will make you feel like that dream you have doesn't worth giving it your best shot.
Because of our weakness, we start giving it a second thought whether to quit or still march on trying to accomplish the dream.
There are another set of people who are fond of stealing others' ideas, how do they accomplish this?
They go at any length just to find fault in your plans while they are executing it somewhere else. Unlike the people who are not happy they these people steal an idea while making it look worthless to you.
The third set are the people who have failed while trying to do the same thing you are planning to do.
They will patiently tell you stories of how they failed and these might create fear that would make you run away from what could make you become everything you have dreamt of. Allowing them to get the emotional or soft side of you could discourage you completely and it would be the end of the great dream courtesy of public opinion.
There are things you must do to avoid public opinion playing with your decisions making when it has to do with achieving your dream. They are simple things we sometimes don't bother much which are do your research and have your fact.
Research gives you in-depth knowledge of what you are getting into and it is the foundation because everything you will do later will be built on the research you have made. It is a wrong idea to just assume when planning, the plans built on assumption can easily be destroyed by public opinion but when you have done thorough research and understand everything you are involving yourself with, your dreams and plans become indestructible
