Persevere

When even those closest to you doubt you. That is the hardest thing to bear, but it is the most likely thing to happen. Persevere. Have faith in yourself and the world. Never doubt yourself. Never. There is only one person who can know what is right for you, and that is you. No-one else can know you better than you.

I can persevere against letdowns from the world, from refusals, misunderstandings and intolerance from strangers, but doubt from friends and family – that hurts. And yet still I must persevere, because my work is me, what I do is me, this is what I am. And doubting what I do is actually doubting me. Something I cannot afford to do.
