different ideas?? different avenues?? different profession?? different courses?? different goals?? different thinking??

Worried about what people will say / think?? 
 
"A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds."

If you start to change or do something different than you usually do then people may react in different ways. Some may be happy for you. Some may be indifferent. Some may be puzzled or react in negative and discouraging ways.

Much of these reactions are probably not so much about you but about the person who said it and his/her life. How they feel about themselves is coming through in the words they use and judgements they make.

And that's OK. I think it's pretty likely that they won't react as negatively as you may imagine. Or they will probably at least go back to focusing on their own challenges pretty soon.

So what other people may say and think and letting that hold you back is probably just fantasy and barrier you build in your mind.

You may find that when you finally cross that inner threshold you created then people around you may not shun you or go chasing after you with pitchforks.  They might just go: "OK"

Be ready for people's unfavorable reactions - when you try a different path. Just avoid their reactions....

Keep Moving - Keep Growing - Keep Working...

People will stop reacting once they realize that you are determined and you have a plan in place.
