The people closest to you will often be the most resistant to you making a change or pursuing a new goal in your life. Stop announcing your plans to them and looking for their approval. Go for it and ...
This is not great advice. This presumes the "people closest to you" are primarily self-seeking jerks who wish for things not to change. This does not describe the majority of people's experiences thru life. Second, maybe those closest to you are more concerned for your well-being and are trying to help you avoid terrible mistakes and errors in judgement.
This advice may sound like it "rings true!", but it also pits one against friends and family to "pursue your dreams!" Really? Your dreams include alienating everyone closest to you so you can "do yer thang!"???
Seek wise counsel, then seek more, and be quite cautious about how your actions may affect those closest to you. Then you can pursue good things in life that are built around NOT harming others.
