Career Stress. Right spirit & direction?

That's good that you regard your parents and have gratitude for them as it strengthens your psychological wellbeing. Now, about your carrier doing what you are passionate about to do will always be helpful to you. All you have to do is to communicate it well with your parents, OK, before you initiate, prepare a list of logical reasons that why you should go for bodybuilding as a carrier, your list should contain reasons rather than any arguments or emotional statements. Find the appropriate time when you are in your most positive state to approach to your parents for communication it's good if you talk to one at a time , make sure to not mold your communication in to emotional triggers, if in between any of your parent displays any negative emotional state, gently postpone your talk without losing yourself or your temper. So rather than a parent child approach you will be able to attain an adult to adult relationship. As you do it well you may resolve the conflict with something like a balanced approach between you and your parents towards bodybuilding and study for your carrier.
