There is something in the American character that seems almost pathologically drawn to root for an underdog. Maybe it’s because of how our nation was founded, as an upstart rebellion against the preeminent military power of its time. Whatever the cause, it is indisputable that we as a people like to see surprises.
You are that underdog. Whatever dream you have, whatever Perfect Life you picture yourself living, NOBODY expects it of you. That small dream is a sacred thing, and you need to take care not to lose track of it. And while you will inevitably run in to individuals who will be discouraging or who will try to distract you from your Purpose, there are also vast throngs of people waiting to celebrate you when you “strike gold.”
Because when you make it, they will start to believe that it’s possible for them to make it, too.
