"Who said it could not be done? And what great victories has he to his credit which qualify him to judge others accurately?
- Napoleon Hill
The next time someone puts you down or tells you you'll never accomplish something or says anything negative about you or what you're doing ask yourself what makes them qualified to judge you.
Many times people will offer you free advice because they care about you and don't want to see you get hurt or lose your money. This advice comes from caring even though it may be negative.
They may say "that will never work! Why are you wasting your time?" although it is a negative they are saying it because they care, but you have to analyze their statement.
What are they really saying? They are saying please be careful "they" don't think it will work but if it's something you believe in something YOU really want to do then take their statement, thank them for their advice and then say to yourself, "I'll show them! I'll make this work and then they'll KNOW I CAN DO IT!"
Use their negative statement to fuel your drive for success.
Other people will shoot down your dreams because they are jealous that you might succeed and they'll still be where they are now. Their statements come to stop you not out because they care, but because they don't want to see you succeed while they don't and they're too lazy to do what you are doing.
The last types of people are the ones that don't like you, or just don't like anyone that succeeds. These people are too lazy to do anything except run their mouths and cut down anyone that has worked hard and achieved success.
This people are to be felt sorry for. They have nothing better to do then attack those that are successful and no energy to actually achieve anything worth wild.
In the end the only opinion about you that matters is the one you have about yourself. It's always great to ask for input or advice, just make sure you are asking the correct people that will be honest and helpful, not just trying to put your in your place or actually trying to see you fail.
Success is a state of mind as is your health and your self-image of yourself.
Always consider the source and the tone in which you receive advise.
