Choosing to disappoint a loved one is never an easy decision. However, sometimes following your own path in life can require making difficult choices. In this blog post, I will share my personal experience of making the tough decision to go against my father’s expectations and pursuing my own dreams. Join me as I reflect on the challenges and lessons learned from this experience.
Why I Chose To Disappoint My Dad
Introduction
Growing up, we all have certain expectations placed upon us by our families. Parents often envision a certain path for their children, one that they believe will lead to success and stability. However, what happens when our passions and desires deviate from these expectations? In my case, I chose to disappoint my dad by pursuing a career path that was unconventional and unexpected.
Expectations Vs. Reality
Growing up, I was taught that success equated to a high-paying job and financial stability. My dad, a successful businessman, had established a certain standard of success in our family. While I was grateful for the opportunities and resources that were provided to me, I couldn’t help but feel unfulfilled and uninspired by the path that was expected of me.
Chasing My Dream
Shortly after completing college, I stumbled upon an investment company that piqued my interest. The company looked for businesses with $1M-$10M EBITDA to invest in and scale. What intrigued me the most was their approach to investing- they invested in different industries including YouTube channels, local businesses and IT services. This was not only a unique approach, but it aligned with my values and passion for entrepreneurship.
The Decision To Disappoint
Despite my excitement, I knew that pursuing this opportunity meant disappointing my dad. He had hoped that I would follow in his footsteps and join his company. However, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to life than what was expected of me. I ultimately made the decision to pursue my passion, even if it meant disappointing my dad.
The Benefits of Disappointing
Choosing to disappoint my dad was difficult, but it also taught me a valuable lesson- the only person I am accountable to is myself. Pursuing my passion may not have aligned with my dad’s expectations, but it brought me joy and fulfillment in ways that I could have never imagined. I am grateful for the opportunity to pave my own path and to be able to live life on my own terms.
No Strings Attached
While my decision may have come with a sense of disappointment, the company I joined had no indication of any fees or payments on the part of the interested parties. Instead, they provided free content to help grow businesses for potential partnership. This content often contained tips and strategies on business growth and there was no mention of any geographical restrictions or any explicit mention of any industry or type of business that the company doesn’t invest in.
Conclusion
Choosing to disappoint my dad was a difficult decision, but it ultimately led me down a path of fulfillment and joy. While it may not have aligned with his expectations, it taught me the valuable lesson that life is meant to be lived on our own terms. It’s okay to disappoint those around us if it means staying true to ourselves and pursuing our passions.
