Take the wind out of your sails?
 
 
 
Do you have anyone you know, family, friends, SO etc. who don't have the same vision as you do and constantly bring you down?
yeah, you can prove it with money, flashy toys etc. - but I'm talking about like REALLY ambitious projects in any field be it this industry, writing a book, opening a business etc. - things you believe in that you actively pursue.
