WHY YOU SHOULDN’T LISTEN TO THE NAYSAYERS

Are you afraid of what others might think of you if you dare to dream too big? What’s the difference between being average to good? From good to great? From great to extraordinary? How much does a fulfilled dream means to you? What does being the best version of yourself look and feel like?

Fitting into the norm is easy to do.

Dreaming big is scary.

We not only fear ourselves, but we fear others too. We look in the mirror and say, who do you think you are? Others say that to us as well, with both good and bad intentions. People are funny about letting others dream sometimes. They want you to keep your feet on the ground. To settle for average.

When you have a dream, it's easy to get overwhelmed in the details of how you are supposed to make it happen. And it's easy for fear to take over our emotions. Doubts creeps in...

“Should I even try...”

You know what. You just have to ignore the naysayers - those internal or external voices. You just got to put your work out there like you already belong and it already deserves to be there. It doesn't matter if that's not what other people are doing. It doesn't matter if they tell you that's not the way things are done. So what? It’s your dream. It’s your path. It’s your journey. Ignore those naysayers.

The internal journey is about YOU choosing to sit in the discomfort and ‘do the work’. To not avoid, step back, retreat, give up, or step away from a dream.

Do you feel and believe that you have something special - that ‘something’ which you were meant and born to do? Something so great that it often screams out deep from your inner belly. It tinkers in your mind and it pops up at different times during the day, week, month, or even years. The desire doesn’t really leave you. It transcends and surpasses all emotions. Well my friends, that your sign to pursue.

Here is the big secret. ACTION is louder than words. Yes, affirmations, positive thinking, goal setting, is all great, but it’s NOTHING without EXECUTION. How can you expect to build confidence if you never do anything? It’s impossible.

Try not to just rely on motivational posts, talks, or books. You can only improve your self confidence by DOING. By learning, doing, seeing results, and repeating that process. Your confidence will grow slowly every day.

It goes like this:

1. Stop the excuses.

2. Take the first step.

3. Put it into practice

4. See results

5. Grow more confident

6. Repeat

That’s the process.

 

Most people will never take the time to ever become great. Most people will remain average at what they do. They never want to move from their spot. They sit in comfort.

What about YOU?

What standard do you hold yourself to? What do you expect of yourself? Maybe you are ok with where you are. Or maybe you are not. Maybe your “good” is good enough. Or is it?

Are you willing to say “screw it,” and pursue? If you have started this process then keep going!! Knocked back? Fight for another day. Finish what you start!! 🙏💪

Focus. Believe and achieve. Keep climbing. And conquer yourself. Be brave and proceed. Take that first step. It’s up to you or the dream will never take off and you will always settle for average.

Put your best foot forward everyday and trust the process. And gather your “CHEER” squad. Not those naysayers.
