Not everyone will be your cheerleader!
If you’re going
to pursue greatness, if you’re going to be a great businessperson, a great
teacher, a great parent, a great leader, you have to understand that not
everyone is going to cheer you on.
I’d love to tell
you that your family, friends and co-workers will celebrate you, but that’s not
necessarily the case. Some people simply can’t handle your success. As you grow
and win, someone will get jealous. Someone will start finding fault. Don’t be
surprised if a relative tries to belittle or discredit you. You can’t focus on
making everyone around you happy or you’ll start changing and lose sight of
your goal. Remember, your destiny is too great to be distracted by people who
are never going to affirm you. Don’t take it personally. It’s not about you.
It’s their problem. Shake it off, play your game, and be great anyway. Having
greatness in the middle of criticism begins with forgiveness. Don’t hold a
grudge. Let it go! Rise above it all and because you’re relentless. Are you
ready to be unstoppable?
