🔥 “Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions…” — Mark Twain

Let’s get something straight: these weren’t words from a man born into comfort or crowned by status. They came from someone who grew up barefoot in Missouri, with more dreams than dollars, and more riverboats than books.

Mark Twain knew the sting of doubt—both his own and the kind slung by small minds. And he knew this truth:
👉 There will always be people who wear their fear like armor and use their insecurities like knives.
They’ll tell you your dream is too big, your voice too strange, your ambition too bold.

But the truly great?
They don’t clip your wings.
They teach you how to fly.

⚠️ In a world overflowing with critics and cynics—on screens, in feeds, and sometimes in our own heads—this message rings louder than ever. Twain reminds us to guard our light. To surround ourselves with people who say “why not?” instead of “you can’t.”

🌱 So today, do this:

• Cultivate your dreams like a garden.

• Fence them off from the doubters until they’re strong enough to bloom.

• And when you grow? Reach back. Reflect light onto someone else’s path.

Because greatness isn’t about shouting the loudest, making the most noise, or stacking the most gold.
It’s about lifting others—helping them see that they, too, can become great.
