They say, do it for yourself, not to prove them wrong. And perhaps that is true most of the time, but there is nothing sinful about letting someone's doubt become the quiet wind behind your sails. Sometimes, when your own strength feels like it is fading, their disbelief lends you a reason to rise again. Not because you are chained to their opinions, but because there is a strange peace in turning noise into music, in turning shadows into light. To prove someone wrong is not always an act of pride; it can be an act of healing. It is to show yourself that you can take their broken words and plant them in the soil of your journey until they bloom into something beautiful. You are not doing it just for them, nor just for you, you are doing it for the balance of it all. For the story that one day you will look back on and whisper, "I gathered their doubt like stones, and built a bridge to my own tomorrow."
