I use to think anyone who thought what you do was negative
than you don’t seem to be doing anything right and the positive notes come and
go. Realizing after knowing a few guys and what the represent, negativity is
like a block for them. Being criticized should help you, not wear you down.
There’s going to be people no matter even one’s you’d never expect will give
you a harsh time about what you want to do or already doing.
If you do something that’s going to get people riled up,
you’re still getting noticed. There’s an old saying, “it’s better to be hated
than ignored.” Sure you’ll get positive feedback and that’s awesome let them
come in but the negative feedback is very unique. You’ll get people talking
about your stuff and most of the time, not always you’ll get some dumb idiot
who has no clue what he’s talking about and at times has nothing to do with
what you say or do, they just run their mouth but you’re still getting noticed.
The only person you should really be a critic on is
yourself. Not saying you should think of yourself in a negative way but
embracing what your strengths and weaknesses are and keep improving yourself.
It’s kind of like shadow boxing, you’re fighting your most difficult opponent
and that’s you brother/sister. Be better for yourself and learn to block that
negative vibe but embrace what is happening with it. One of my favorite courses
I have is from Mattfurey.com which is called Psychic Self Defense. It teaches
you how to handle negative energy and using visualizations and feel on what you
can do to block that energy from a variety of ways, most teach offensive
strategies, this is one of extreme few to teach a defensive strategy and like
they say a great defense brings a great offense.
Being motivated isn't easy but look at from this angle like
on a coin, one person is motivated to get things done no matter what it is, the
other person just goes about his life not making progress and not making
himself what he wants to be. I realize motivation is hard, I go through it all
the time and plenty of other guys I know, some of them it’s pretty easy, for
others it’s a pain in the ass but it still keeps them going. Find ways to be
motivated, find a friend, listen to music for inspiration, watch a rugged action movie whatever it might be use it to motivate yourself just make sure it’s
illegal because I don’t want you to put yourself or someone else in harms way
for the sake of motivation. One other thing on that note, when you’re doing
something that gets you going, someone else is going to envy you because they
can’t do it themselves so they’ll be on you like white on rice at times.
Never try to change who you are, you can adapt and learn
different things to improve yourself but never change the type of person you
are because you are a good person deep down and you want to be something beyond
anything else, it’s up to you to make that choice and help improve yourself.
The more you improve yourself the more others will bitch at you because they
don’t know any better and they don’t want you to be happy, just be unhappy like
them, never do that. Let the criticism in and learn to take a punch every now
and then. In Rocky VI he says “It’s not how hard you hit, it’s how hard you get
hit and keep getting back up to fight.” Keep on working your goals and make
things happen; if someone gives you a hard time, so what, you’re doing
something they don’t know how to achieve. Have fun and until next time, keep
living the dream and achieve the things you want to happen.
