Don’t forgive the people who haven’t supported you in the past.
That’s right – you read correctly. I don’t want you to forgive them.
I want you to thank them.
Every day, in my head, I thank the people who said I wouldn’t be able to start my first business at age 15. Every day I thank the people who thought I would fail opening a real estate agency at 21.
When people expect you to fail or don’t support your endeavours you can do two things. You can believe them. Or you can show them. I know which I chose to do. What’s your choice going to be?
I chose to use their negativity as fuel for my energy and drive. I used their words as motivation when I was feeling low. I decided that success was the best and only form of revenge I would ever enact on these people.
In life you are always going to encounter negative people. If you don’t meet these negative people you will never know the following:
- How much you should love and appreciate the positive and supportive people in your life
- How good you’re going to feel by becoming successful and proving them wrong
You can get angry, you can try and get even – OR you can get on with it and become an unequivocal success. Two options will get you tired, probably bitter and will usually prove the doubters right.
Remember – Success is the only acceptable form of revenge.
