When you have a bit of certainty over what you want to do, it seems there are a thousand people who will try and talk you out of that. Some people are very sincere and just care about you, but at the end of the day it is your life and you have to choose how to live it.
I would say start by writing your goal down.
When you do that you can know exactly what you are working towards. It is much harder for people to play mind games with you then.
When you have that goal written down, the challenge becomes to stay focused on it.
Our mind always wants to go back and dwell on negative stuff that happened in the past. If you can train it to be focused on the present moment and your current goals, powerful things will happen.
