I Can Series: Week 3 - Let The Haters Hate

"Hold The Vision. Trust The Process."

Welcome to the November edition of the Straight Up Mindset Blog. This month's series is the I Can Series. Week One's topic was over Face Your Fears. Week Two we talked about Focus On The Goal. This weeks topic is called Let The Haters Hate

 When pursing your dreams and goals you are 100% guaranteed going to have haters. That one individual or group of people who think your dreams and goals are stupid, ridiculous and too big for you to obtain. Depending how big your family or social circle is, this will happen most of the time. Also, please understand family will and can be your biggest haters. Some of you out there are probably thinking how could that be? They should be your biggest supporters. Which in theory they should, but that's not always the case. One of the things that I have noticed in my own experience that occurs with family (depending how close the relationship is)  is that they are comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings with you. What they don't realize is that when they do this they are more than likely projecting their own fears and short comings onto your life.

Now, I understand that some will actually give you some sound advice. You need to be able to take that feedback and use it to your benefit. Most cases, it will come from their inability to really comprehend the full depth and meaning of why you are pursuing your dreams. It really doesn't matter if they do to be honest with you. It is your dreams and your goals, no one said that you had to have supporters when pursuing your dreams. There are no laws or rules that say you must believe in me or else. That is entirely up to you if you will succeed. People are entitled to their opinions and that is true, but you are also entitled to not allow what they say to hinder your thoughts and feelings on the matter either.

Look, I'm not saying to just starting cutting all relationships you have with people who don't agree with your vision. All I'm saying is don't allow their opinions to dictate your outcome. Learn to decipher who just doesn't see your vision and who is actually trying to give you solid guidance. Remember this while you are on your journey. You will have haters in the beginning and you will have haters even after you make it. Just look at what is on T.V. and on social media. No matter how big of a name or how much money you have in the bank, someone is always going to have an opinion on your life and the choices you make. You just have to be strong within yourself to be OK with your decisions and move forward whether you fail or succeed.
