“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
Mark Twain
If you have family, friends, and or colleagues that always find something negative to say, it's time to change the paradigm. Surround yourself with positive people, positive things, positive thoughts, and positive action steps. A positive mental attitude will take you farther than skill in many situations. Very few high achieve have managed to live without challenges. Thomas Edison and Bill Gates have handled adversity at some point and excelled. Both of them were thought to be failures at one point. Each man believed in themselves and was surrounded by like minds. My father used to say "it doesn't matter what happens to you in this life, but what you do about it. " He would then say" now what?" So, take an honest look at your situation. Deduce where you are presently and from whence you have come. Decide where you would like to be. Set action steps to meet your agreed upon goals and surround yourself with people who also believe and support your dreams. Seek out a mentor to guide and direct you. Now what? Wake up, get up, roll up your sleeves, gird your loins and get to work.
