Many times we fall victim to listening to others instead of ourselves. We often fear criticism from others which can prevent us from pursuing our goals. In the past, I have fallen victim to concern myself about what others think. I have learned that you should not care what others think. The only person that can live your life is you. The only person that can achieve your goals and dreams is you. 'They' gain nothing or lose nothing when it comes to your goals. More importantly, "they" are not you. 'They' do not see your vision or feel your passion. But who are 'They'? 'They' are typically people you know: family and friends. 'They' offer opinions about what you should and should not do when it comes to your dreams. 'They' will be quick to tell you that your dream is unreal. 'They' will be quick to criticize you if fail. 'They' are de-motivators. 'They' are dream killers.
If you truly want to achieve your goal or dream, then do it! Do not concern yourself with what 'They' think. Believe in yourself and you will be equipped with every tool that you will need to succeed. Do not listen to what 'They' say; only listen to what you say. Typically the best supporters are people you do not even know.
Why not listen to 'Us'. First, who is 'Us'? 'Us' is anyone who you know that is supportive of your aspirations. We may not be family or friends. We may be someone who you just met that aspires to be successful, like you. We think like you. We are positive, motivated, inspired and believe. We may be on a path to achieve personal goals. We know how you feel. We may need encouragement as well. We tell you to follow your dreams because they will become reality. We have the passion for our endeavor just like you have for yours. We are constantly lifting you up when you fall. We are dream believers. We are cheerleaders. We are you. You are us.
When you are surrounded by like-minded individuals, everyone's energy level will increase. We are all on a path to achieve our goals and dreams. We all believe that we can and will succeed. We all support one another. We all are winners. We are you. You are us.
So the next time you are in doubt, listen to 'Us'. Who cares what 'They' say. By listening to 'Us', you are in reality listening to yourself. We are truly one. You believe in you. We believe in you. You believe in us.
