I encourage you to seek your passion and not give up.
This led me to another thought:
Not knowing the outcome should not impede you from following your passion.
**This is just a reminder** We all have our expectations but consider this - we can have our name in lights and/or we can light up or our world and the world we live in! The bottom line is don't let the unknown keep you from living your passion.
My favorite quote that so clearly defines this idea is from Theodore Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done this better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows, in the end triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
