Everything great I ever made was something my friends actively told me not to make early on.

Follow your gut, folks.

When @WhereThoughts Go was at its concept and prototype stage almost EVERYONE told me it was a bad idea. They said it would become a troll hellscape and that there was no way it would work.

But when I finished it they all loved it and said they "always believed in me"https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

When I started thinking of creating a Youtube channel around my tech projects, almost EVERYONE told me it was a bad idea.

"Just keep doing more @WhereThoughts. It& #39;s working! Don& #39;t throw it away for something new."

Except now my channel is the most fun I& #39;ve had in my entire life

Friends want to look out for you, but often they don& #39;t understand what motivates you at your very core. Only you do.

It& #39;s ok to ask for advice & it& #39;s okay to be made aware of your risks, but don& #39;t forget to listen to that inner voice. It& #39;s wiser than we give it credit for.
