Who has been told we can’t do something before in their life?Who has been written off and been told you could “never do that”, “no chance”, “grow old gracefully”, “what would so and so say”?!!!!
Two things then happen;a. We go back in our shells and “know our place”orb. We quietly go back to working hard, getting a bit more out of ourselves, hit the gym more, eat a little better, get to bed earlier because tomorrow is another chance to prove those doubters/dream crushers wrong.
You can see mindset is everythng, our minds and confidence levels can literally collapse or soar to new heights, there’s usually not in between.Our “collapse” phase can last a day or a couple of years or more and feel its ruined our lives, to at least had a major detrimental impact. Down times can lead to a deep rut in our lives.
Our “soar” phase can lead to unexpected new highs, not through luck but through pure hard work, perseverance, and consistency when the chips often seemed way down, we surprised many others and perhaps most of all ourselves.
The fight required to get out of that dismissal by others can be monumental, but we are ALL capable of it.
Use all of that negativity and those who dismiss you as fuel to the fire you have been building up inside and which is absolutely necessary to achieve anything worthwhile in life.We all will have criticism. name calling and a lot of negativity at times thrown at us, its how we handle it that makes our now and future so much more positive and exciting.
