Each time you run across someone who has done a terrific job making your dreams a difficult journey, you need to always THANK that person! You must realize that everyone has a purpose in your life. There are those who are in your life only to keep you from staying on track. There are those who are in your life only to discourage you, and convince you to believe you won't accomplish your dreams in life. There are also those individuals who pretend to be supporters, while all along, they despise your success and try to do EVERYTHING they can to keep your dreams from becoming a reality.
The amazing story to all of this is what you gain from those naysayers and critics. I had to learn a long time ago, that they serve a very important purpose in my journey to SUCCESS. If it were not for the naysayers... if it were not for the critics... if it were not for those so-called friends who did everything possible to keep me down, I would have never found the paths I needed to find in order to succeed!
Never forget this one thing: The thorns placed in your path may hurt at first, and it may seem very difficult to find an alternate route to achieve your goals in life; however, if it were not for those thorns, perhaps you would have continued your journey down the wrong road! The next time someone tells you that your dreams are impossible, thank that person by working harder! The next time someone drains your finances in an effort to keep you from having the funds to start your business, simply thank that person by figuring out another way to raise funds. Who knows? You may discover (as I did) a new source of revenue for a business adventure.
We all have many struggles in life, and depression has unfortunately become best friends with many aspiring entrepreneurs and dreamers; however, remember that you are not alone. It is important to never forget that each time you are turned away and rejected... each time you are mocked... each time another thorn appears in your path... each time the sting of betrayal or discouragement rears its ugly head, remember it is only a SIGNAL pointing you down the right path.
I am grateful for my critics, and so should you. I am very grateful for my naysayers, and you should be as well. I am very grateful for all the moments I have failed, and you should be as well. I am grateful for all the times I was broke and had no money to pursue my dreams, and so should you. I am grateful because it is what led me down the right paths.
As for your critics (and so-called friends), choose to fuel that negative energy into a powerful force behind your wings. Allow the wind from their chatter, the mist from their laughter, and the power from their hatred to propel you forth through all the storms! When you think about it, it really is a beautiful thing to thank the very people who made your journey a difficult task. You need that (what I like to call it) FREE MOTIVATION from them so that you will have one more reason not to give up!
