Stop Listening to Those Who are Selling You Failure

I guarantee that someone in your life has told you to give up, to not try, to take the easy path. Someone has told you that you are not good enough, not strong enough, not smart enough.

Whether it's your parents, your friends or your enemies, there is no shortage of people in life who will tell you to not go after your goals because THEY don't think you will make it. What do you think?

If you feel something inside you urging you toward greatness, listen to that. That voice inside you that tells you to reach for the stars knows you better than anyone else and knows what you can accomplish.

Why would you listen to someone who doesn't know you as well as you know yourself? People who tell you that you will fail are not basing their assessment on you but on themselves. Fear of failure is what holds people back, and unfortunately, they project it onto others.

This projection comes in two varieties. There are those who care about you and don't want to see you fall. Their motives are protective in nature and they mean well, but they are the voice that steers you away from your potential.

The second variety is the person who sees your potential and the success ahead of you. The person who's insecurity makes them scared to see you climb beyond their reach. It is not about your success or failure. It is about theirs. They don't want to see you take the steps they were too scared to. They don't want to see you push past the point where they gave up.

In the end, it doesn't really matter why others try to talk you out of your dreams because they are yours. your destiny is yours. In fact, let's get rid of the word destiny from here on out. Your life is not the result of some cosmic plan. Your future is not your destiny. It is your path, but you are not walking it. You are building it. It is not a paved street to a destination, it is an untamed wilderness waiting for you to cut a trail. You are the laborer and navigator. Under no circumstances should you let anyone else tell you which way your footprints should lead.
