yes family will always have something to say from the outside. just know this is for you and stay focused on the goal. Stay in the race because they want us to grow tired and get frustrated...You are almost there...
Family will tell you that they are looking out for you and they care more than strangers, but family doesn't always see/share your vision. Thank them for their love and concern and tell them what I learned to tell my parents or people who thought they knew more than me...PRAY FOR THE BEST!
