People Will Tell You To Quit, I Say Screw Them And Do It! – TheInfoPreneur.

I read Gordie’s post Lifestyle Design Is Not Dead and his frustration at how some people keep saying to write about things of this nature is a waste of time, because it is dead. Listen guys, people told me in my first week that I would never be able to compete with the big guns in my market place and that I would never ever be able to make an impact. Did I listen? Hell no, and that’s the reason I’m writing a guest post on this fantastic site.

Gordie has put together a great team of extremely talented people here, very clever individuals who all have something different to say about lifestyle design. Have you ever been told that you can’t make it work, or ever been told that is a stupid idea? I have, I still hear it, ‘TheInfoPreneur’, whats that?’. I love it when people say it can’t be done, I love hearing ‘that’s just not realistic’. It maybe not realistic, but I’ll make damn sure I’ll prove you wrong, in a very public way.

Heart.

Are you head strong? Do you sometimes pile in and think, “Okay, now what?” Let me tell you, I do this every single day and have been like this since I was a kid. My attitude to most things is just in the deep end and learn how to swim when I hit the bottom. Yeah, it’s a risky strategy to life, but by god you get the very best out of it. Are you one of these people who deliberates over the tiniest of things? Do you take an age thinking about every eventuality?

We need people who go with their head and make calculated decisions; doctors, politicians need to be calm and collected. In everyday life though do we actually need to spend so much time thinking about everything, get in their and figure it all out when you’re there. I’ve been homeless as a kid, been in the worst kind of situations in the military, but every single time there has been one thing that has saved me, going with my heart.

Fear.

Human beings are scared, sacred of being poor, lonely, and most of all scared of failing. When was the last time you saw a wild mountain lion feeling sorry for itself, or a tiger not chasing an animal across Africa because it thought there maybe a chance of not catching it?

Fear is an emotion, it can be controlled. I use my fear (yes, I do have fear) to my advantage. Fear is my fire, I use the fear others project onto me and turn it into drive and passion. Someone says I’ll never make it, I’m too stupid and I take that fear they are trying to impose on me and turn it into pure fire, pure driving passion to prove them and my stupid emotion called fear wrong.

Positive.

Don’t get me wrong here, I’m not saying you should be positive and happy all the time. Being human, that’s impossible. Sometimes things catch up to us. Whenever I get low I look around me and compare that to others and the past. Do I have a roof over my head? YES. Am I trying to raise my family in a war zone? NO. Am I dying from a terminal illness? NO. Then get off your ass and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

You need to surround yourself with positive people, look around this site, Gordie and his team and bursting with energy and positivity, so are the people commenting, draw from this and transfer it into your own life, next time someone says, you will never get promoted or afford your own home, take their negativity and mirror it into positivity.

It’s built into some people to want you to fail, they thrive off it. Don’t you dare give them the energy to thrive off you, hold you head high and tell yourself, it can be done.
