Do you listen to what 'They' say?

Many times we fall victim to listening to others instead of ourselves. We often fear criticism from others which can prevent us from pursuing our goals. In the past, I have fallen victim to concern myself about what others think. I have learned that you should not care what others think. The only person that can live your life is you. The only person that can achieve your goals and dreams is you. ‘They’ gain nothing or lose nothing when it comes to your goals. More importantly, “they” are not you. ‘They’ do not see your vision or feel your passion. But who are ‘They’? "They" are typically people you know: family and friends. ‘They’ offer opinions about what you should and should not do when it comes to your dreams. ‘They’ will be quick to tell you that your dream is unreal. ‘They’ will be quick to criticize you if fail. ‘They’ are de-motivators. ‘They’ are dream killers.

If you truly want to achieve your goal or dream, then do it! Do not concern yourself with what ‘They’ think. Believe in yourself and you will be equipped with every tool that you will need to succeed. Do not listen to what ‘They’ say; only listen to what you say. Typically the best supporters are people that you do not even know. I believe that you can achieve your goals. I believe in you. Unfortunately just like ‘They’, it doesn't matter what I think. It only matters what you think. My only hope is that you see what I see in you. I see a winner. I see an achiever. I see a believer. What do you see?

Who do you believe in?

This is not a question about religious faith. This is a question that you must answer when you have doubts about yourself. When you have doubts about achieving your goal. When you have doubts about your direction. Who do you believe in? When you had determined in your mind that you were going to pursue a goal, who did you believe in? When you thought about the plan to achieve your goal, who did you believe in? When you started on your journey for your goal, who did you believe in?

So now you may be at a crossroads. So now your plan may not be going the way you had hope. So now you feel it may not happen. Who do you believe in?

If you believed that you could do it in the beginning, what has changed? No one who has achieved success was not first met with failure. Failure is nothing but a stepping stone. It is a part of progression. If you fear to fail than you will not succeed. It is when you have accepted failure as defeat that you have lost. So the question again, who do you believe in?

If you have a strong desire to achieve your goal, then nothing will stand in your way. The only person that can ever stop you is YOU. The only person that can prevent you from achieving your goals is YOU. The only person that can give up on you is YOU. When times get tough you have to dig deep within yourself. When you do that you will find what is the foundation of your future success. When you do that you will find the foundation of your courage, persistence and perseverance. When you do that you will find the foundation for your positive attitude. I could tell you what you will find but more importantly is the answer to the question.

Who do you believe in? Once that is answered, you will then find your foundation.
