How many times do people tell you NO and how many times do you back down and do exactly what they say?
I got used to it over the years, and you may notice that when something doesn’t work out for me, or people say it can’t be done, it tends to light the touch paper within me, and it creates a big spark that I need to do something IMMEDIATELY to overcome the rejection and prove that person wrong. NO is my motivation, NO makes me prove people wrong even quicker, and NO can often make me want to do even better.
By now, I use that tantrum I am having inside to very good use, I channel it to a very productive direction. I don’t waste my time on arguing why something can’t be done, I just do it and it’s ultimately satisfying to seeing the face of the non-believer once the action is taken.
Overwhelming action will always beat having an argument with someone a thousand times over.
You may well be used to by now people saying “why go to the gym so much?”, “come out for a drink with me/us instead”, “why exercise, you might strain yourself” etc etc.
You hopefully, have learned to ignore such people, even if they “mean well” in some way in their own minds or perhaps more likely you are showing them up because they don’t have the get up and go to do it themselves.
You know the huge benefits of exercise already, and the point where you get to when you realise you don’t have to justify your life’s choices to everyone is a very satisfying one.
Your mission to get anything you really want in life is to keep taking massive action until you get there. Don’t argue with negative people, you have left their poison behind and these days you fill yourself up with hope, opportunity and purpose.
Think of your biggest rejections, think of the times you have been written off the most, and then work even harder to seize your moment, and prove everyone wrong again.
Everyone else’s opinion is only a point of view, not fact. What matters is your deep passion for getting things done, and your willingness to take action EVERY DAY.
Let’s see what you really have deep within you.
