    Not an easy task but pretty normal and even possible. Just have courage.

    Let's just say if you do not live you're life then one day when you are old you will resent you're family and yourself for not living you're life .
    We only have one life to live .
    Be the leading actor in you're own movie . " life " .
    If not then you will live with" what if " .

    It is quite normal to have your own dreams and goals that are different than your family. The most successful people in the world rarely had family support when the started to pursue their dream. Of course, once they became successful their family changed their mind...

    Find someone (a friend, etc.) who can support your dream... and Go For It!

    Might I suggest two books that is likely to help you do that:

    1) "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy (its a basic guide on how to be successful at most anything).

    2) "The Masterkey to Riches" by Napoleon Hill. This is Napoleons Hill's final masterpiece where he assembles all the pieces on how to become successful. Note that he list that there are 12 riches in life. Money is only part of the last one.

    I wish you well with this,

        Ahh! How sweet you care enough about me to try and predict what I say. Even though what you thought I might say would be totally inappropriate for the post, but I guess you can’t help being a bit dim. Even so it was nice of you to care enough to think about it. It makes me feel very loved, hugs and kisses to you.
