He only sold ONE painting in his entire life ...

Then they were worth millions... ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌   You know . A few days ago, I was browsing through Amazon looking for Christmas presents for my kids. With all the Black Friday stuff, usually packages end up getting quite late here. So, I wanted to get this sorted early. That's when I found this. 👇 It's called "Van Gogh In-a-Box". A painting set with step-by-step instructions to recreate one of Van Gogh's famous paintings. It immediately called my attention. But not for the reasons you think. Want to know what it was? Because at the time Van Gogh was alive... His paintings were considered reckless. Ugly. He defied every single norm at the time on how a painting should look like. He used vibrant colors. Bold textures. Odd shapes. He worked non-stop to perfect his style. Focused on mastering his craft and nothing more. And living in poverty throughout most of his life because of it. Did all that hard work pay off? No. He only sold one painting throughout his whole life. He was just too ahead of his time. Nowadays though... He's considered one of the most famous painters in the world. His paintings are worth millions. So here I was. Staring at my Amazon cart. The man who only sold one artwork for pennies when he was alive. That came up with every "out-of-the-box" concept you can think of. His painting was right here. Inside a box. And we were being told to copy him. Why am I telling you all this? Well, because it shows perfectly how society doesn't want you to be original. I'm sure you know what it's like. Maybe when you told your parents about this brilliant business idea that would change the world. Or maybe when you told your best friend you wanted to lose 20 pounds. You expected them to support you. Instead, they laughed at you. Called you crazy. They shattered your dreams to pieces. After hearing those words... You lost all the motivation you had to go after your dreams. You put those dreams on a shelf. Decided you were going to settle for less. That the idea you had was not good to begin with. And now... You're living below your potential. Filled with regrets. You know something's off. Everything within you is telling you the road you're in is not the right one but... You prefer to keep on pretending to be someone you're not. Placing yourself in a box. Just to fit in and get accepted. It's in those moments when you have to make a decision. That no matter what happens You're going to stay true to yourself. To get over your fears and take action in the direction towards your dreams. Even when it's hard. Even if you get rejected for it. Even if that means making some radical changes in your life. You have to commit to doing things differently. Different from what other people expect of you. And start taking the right steps in the appropriate direction. Maybe at first, you'll go through some hard times but... Eventually, you'll succeed. And then... You'll see something incredible happen. Those who once crushed your idea... They'll start following you. Asking you how you did it. And they'll cheer you up to keep going further. Eventually, you'll get to where you want to be. Because you decided not to listen to what others had to say. You didn't lie to yourself. You didn't make yourself smaller. You kept on moving forward. And fighting for your dreams.
