I'm Not Sure If It’s For You, But…

These 3 short pieces of advice made a positive impact on me

#1 — It is your right to strive for success

You can go after anything you want. You have no boundaries, other than obeying the law and your personal moral code. Otherwise, let rip. Go for it. The flip side of this rule is, you cannot deny anyone else from going after whatever they want.

You don’t have to stand in the queue for success. You don’t have to follow the same steps as everyone else. You can do it your way. Accept that others have the right to skip the line too.

#2 — Don’t get involved with the wrong people

Narcissists, negativists, and naysayers drag you down. They deny you the right to happiness. They take up your time, trip you up, and scupper your success. It’s hard not to have your buttons pushed by them. They can be skilled at hijacking your thoughts and your thoughts become your emotions.

Learn and use these phrases:

“Okay!”

“I’ve noted that.”

“Thank you for your opinion.”

“I’m not doing that.”

“You believe what you like.”

Then walk away.

When anyone tries to engage you in a toxic interaction, choose the appropriate phrase then walk away.
