It’s good to be written off and told you will never do something with your life, because especially now in dark and wet November, it’s the perfect excuse to light a fire inside of you.
It encourages you to pull out the stops, do all the stuff you know you should be doing (but maybe stopped doing), it’s important to DO THE WORK and keep slamming it in relentlessly, because with that approach, you will cause a ruckus and will will desperately upset the people who wrote you off (which is great).
Everyone needs to be kicked up the behind now and then, and we need to get serious about habits that will transform us from where we may be struggling now, to a place where we can be mightily proud of in the near future.
To do it though your priorities must change.
Your workouts must be on top of the “to do list”-no compromises.
No more putting rubbish in your shopping basket, it will take you further AWAY from your goals and will keep that mediocrity feeling going that much longer.
Tell your very close circle what you REALLY want, and ask them to support you even when you are tempted to quit, miss workouts, eat rubbish or when you start to doubt your ability all over again.
It is said that the wolf who is climbing the mountain is ALWAYS hungrier than the wolf at the top of the mountain, so someone continuously writing you off is not always fun to put up with, but if you use that criticism and doubt as FUEL for your fire to keep climbing, to keep getting stronger, fitter and getting your mind much stronger, that negativity can be much more useful than you thought.
