Have Minimal Contact with Negative People
Shut them out of your life. There is nothing more frustrating than to have a conversation with negative people. They have a negative response to everything said. Fortunately, the best way to deal with them is not to deal with them at all. From now on, whenever you notice any negativity in anybody you speak with, get away or simply explain that you are sorry but you no longer have time for any further conversation. You do not have to resort to harsh and rude, but you must be firm and direct. Negative people can and will bring you down only by talking to you. Be willing to help if you can, but understand without doubt that in most cases you can't. Have you ever bought something that you thought was the best, and some friend of yours told you that it looked really bad, so you didn't wear it anymore or you felt some kind of shame when you did? This is just a minor example of how negative people can influence you. Imagine what they could do if you let them influence you in other aspects of your life. From now on, do not let negative people get in your way to success. Shut them out!
Stop Listening to People Unless They are Doing Better Than You
There is a story of about someone who wanted to get involved in the stock market, but didn't know anything about it and decided to consult a financial advisor whose number he found in a local newspaper. After talking for short while he got really excited! The financial advisor said that he knew a way of getting $500,000 with just a $125 investment in stocks, but it would cost $2,000 for him to reveal that secret. Anyway, he decided to give it a try. He tried several times what he was told but it did not work at all. A few months later, he went back to the advisor's office. As soon as he got there, he found that the office was closed and the financial advisor had actually filed bankruptcy! Now this can happen to anyone, but what we didn't tell you is that on first meeting the Financial Advisor he noticed the shabby office and the ill fitting clothing of the Advisor and the inability of the Financial Advisor to talk in great detail about anything financial, So in reality all appropriate signs were working he just refused to adhere.
From now on, do not listen to anybody unless they are doing better than you! You can get their opinion, you can hear what they are saying, but you cannot let them influence you. On the other hand, if they are doing better than you, then they probably know a little bit more, they have a little bit better attitude, and they probably have a little more experience. So remember, from now on; do not listen to anybody unless they are doing better than you!Spiritually, Mentally, Physically and Morally. You will get rid of a lot of problems.
So dream big!! So dream big!
Have Fun
Enjoy what you do. The probabilities are that right now you do not enjoy what you are doing to make a living. To us, that is understandable because we do not believe in working for a living; we believe in living to work for the fun of working. Does that sound crazy? We are sure it does. Let us explain it to you. We have worked for a living. We hated it of course, but we felt we had to do it otherwise we were not going to have any food on the table. Today, we live to work for the fun of working.
Sure there are other reasons other than fun (reasons like recognition), but to be honest, if there is no fun, you shouldn't work at all. We are very sure that once you stop working for a living and start living to work you will realize what we're talking about. Of course to be working for the fun of working, you need to be doing something that you enjoy doing. This is where the "Journey 2 Success" comes into play. You will soon learn that work can actually be fun! Also, before going to the next step. You must have fun in life, it may sound silly, but if you make life a game, you will have fun at it. If you think of life the same way you would think of a card game or a tennis match, you will have great fun at it. We guarantee it! But you have to work at it.
We know that most people are used to the hard life, and the long hours of work. This is why this whole idea of having fun may sound crazy to you. Again, do not worry! Once you start experiencing the easy part of life and less hours of work per week, you will surely realize what having fun in life is all about. If you could do anything you wanted and money was not an issue, what would that something be, now if you can't thing of anything you are what we call critically ill and need immediate attention.
