You don’t need anyone’s permission to want more than what you were handed.

Wanting more can feel like an insult to the people who gave you what you have, which is why so many keep their ambitions small and apologetic. No approval is actually required, and none is coming. The desire is yours to hold whether or not anyone around you understands it.

Stop testing the idea on people likely to talk you out of it and start doing the first piece of it quietly. Tell the ones who will help, later. What you are waiting for is a permission slip that does not exist.
