Struggling to find motivation?
Use Other People’s Negativity Towards You As a Rocket Fuel For Your Success!
I was in my final year of high school and wanted to study journalism. I’ve always loved words, and I knew I had my way with them.
But when I shared my plans with our class teacher, she said: “You? No way!”
Two months later, not only did I manage to secure a place at the university to study journalism, but I was one of only 35 students who got their study fees covered by the state.
Later, I spent 12 years working as a journalist and left when I decided it was time to switch to another career where I can live out of writing 💖 — marketing.
Lesson:
Instead of being intimidated by her lack of support, I used it as fuel to boost my motivation and turn negative feelings into motivation.
Don’t let difficult people hold you back — use their negativity to propel you forward. 👊
