A short motivational YouTube Shorts monologue (created and uploaded by Jacqueline Elliott on Feb 21, 2024) advising listeners not to let friends and family who have seen past failures talk them out of pursuing deeply held goals. The speaker urges separating from unsupportive people, committing extra work to prove oneself, and suggests the right people will return once progress is shown.

People that in your life, they've heard you before, make promises or say, hey, I'm going to try this endeavor. Then you fail. And then you say, I'm going to give it all I got. I'm going to give it this amount of time. And then you fail again. When you finally believe in something that you really, really want to do, you're going to have some people in your ear talking you out of it, because they've seen you fail in the past. But that's when you're going to have to separate from those people. When you really make the decision to follow what you really have in your heart, what you have to do is work extra, extra hard, prove yourself, and then they'll come back if they're the right people.
