The effort it takes to control your life and work towards your goal is tremendous. No one can live your life the way you do. This is why it’s important to stay in a circle of positive people. When you are around the wrong crowd, it can make you feel less than. Just because they say something negative to you, doesn’t make it so. Don’t be hard on yourself because of what they say about you.
Do you know that you are doing more than most people right now? It may seem like you’re just reading this post, but a lot of people don’t read. Not only are you reading, you are reading to improve yourself and to become better. You could be reading some messy gossip blog about people who are already rich, but you chose not to. That speaks volumes.
When doing the work to reach your goals, no matter how long or short they are, it takes time and courage. Do you know how many people have ideas and don’t act on them? They don’t have the courage you have. You are in the game and making it happen. The scrapes and bruises and starting over doesn’t scare you, because you are in it to win it.
They talk about you, as if you are wasting your time. Their insecurities about themselves come out towards you, but you aren’t the problem. You are making progress, but they keep finding ways to bring you down to their level. This is why you find a better circle. Be with people who will give you words of encouragement and make you feel like you can accomplish anything.
The fact that you are taking action on your idea, puts you way ahead of those who just ‘think’. Taking control of your life is the key to growth. It all starts in your mind. You are there. You are already winning.
Don’t be hard on yourself.
