Has this ever happened to you? You are at a fork in the road. One path leads to your dream life and a fulfilling career and the other path is what is tried and true and what is expected by your parents. The pull of both is equally strong and for this reason, but you’re afraid to move forward for fear of disappointing your parents.
i have been living with my mother almost my whole life, we are just two, i and my sister, our mother has been there for us , she paid our school fees till we graduated from the university, fed and clothed us, she is everything i have but i have always been scared to disappoint her by choices i make in my life.
i have been unemployed for two years after nysc, though before i got admission into the university ,i have been working as a dj at weddings and other partys, the job was fun for me because i got some money from it and a name but i did not know in time my mother was not happy about the job.
After my Nysc i started going out more searching for jobs, meeting and talking to people i met at weddings i performed at, for s secured job, at that time i was working for another dj a church member, i have been working for with him "7 years"before he got married, he changed after he got married, i worked more than the money he was giving me so early this year i told him i cant take the money he was giving me , i handled the job most times even though he owned the equipments, even tho i was the one that brought in the Gig he would still pay Me less , so i decided to let him know how i felt , Since then we have not talked to each other.
This year i took a Radio broadcast professional course to add to my certificate,My mother payed the fees, then i decided to ask her why she doesn't want to support me in my dj career even tho she knows i am good at it, she told me she doesn't want me to do go ahead with it because she doesn't want her friends to say after sending her son to the university , he turns out to be a dj, that if i had studied medicine or pharmacy i wont be jobless.
Last night we talked about it again ,i told her about my plans and how i could get money from it and still pursue a secured job, she promised to get me the money to buy some of the equipments but i am still scared if things dont turn out the way i planned them, Have i not disappointed her??

The Mother is a very important element in the home.

Live your life to its full potential and forget about disappointing your mother in the future. Tomorrow will sort itself out.

You didn't disappoint her, she knows it is not your fault that you are jobless. Don't be too hard on yourself, your story will change for better one day.

You have an ability to do something and you are letting people put doubt in your mind. It's like God gave you a talent but for fear of others, you want to let it die inside you!

You went to school and have a foundation. If you could earn a living 7 years ago, why not now that you are much wiser, will you not be much more wiser in the future and earn a better living, or has your mother told you dj money cannot buy what doctor money can buy?

I beg, kick silly aside and fulfil your dream. Your mother will one day proudly lift up her head and announce to the whole world, "Look at my son, the dj".

Yes she does want the best for you. But can you begin to imagine how many dj like talents you will sacrifice in trying to please her? A history of unfulfilled dreams!

Parents can sometimes not see very well into the future their children need to live in and yours don't seem to think djing is worthy like doctor. If you know anything about music though, I'm sure you know to doctor with it. Abi doctor money de spend past dj money?

Run your own race. Stop fearing imaginary things! You will succeed.

Come on dude, you can do better than this. Don’t let the fear of the unknown inhibit you from pursuing you passion which is dj, you said yourself that you are good at this, what makes you think you can’t make it big from this....you can hook up big time gig tomorrow and your story will change for good
