I also agree with that statement. That's a big drawback if you want to succeed. Not believing in yourself. I also agree with that statement. That’s a big drawback if you want to succeed.

I think you are confusing responsibilities with inabilities, and ignoring that people have freedom of choice. I'm not about to suggest a person should abandon their children to follow their dreams, but I will say that no one can justly use children as an excuse not to, because having children was, or should have been, a conscious life choice. Student loans are not a valid reason for not being successful either. See this post for my thoughts on that topic: http://inthelimelight.net/2008/01/22/debt-is-a-prison-dont-get-a-life-sentence/ Also this article was not strictly about persuing dreams, it was about being successful. If someone make a good living and have a good family, and are happy and content, then they are a success. Thank you for sharing your comments, R, but I think you misunderstand my point somewhat.

I've met so many people who tell me, "I wish I could have pursued things like you are doing, but I had to make money so as soon as I got my degree I just went to work." People have kids in college, bills to pay, loans that hang around like that creepy friend you just can't get rid of. It's true we can all achieve things if we put our minds to it, but if you had a child, could you justify them not having dinner on the table or clothes on their back because you wanted to pursue your dream? Things get a lot more complicated the more you live your life. There’s one big factor that decides whether someone pursues their dreams or just settles for something else and that is money.
