If you want to change but seem to be getting resistance from others.

Even those closest to you, may not be in your best interest to listen to them.

They say,

“You can’t do that” or

“How long are you gonna keep doing that” or the best one

“When will you give up and do something else?”

This can feel like those closest to you want you to fail even though they say it’s because they don’t want you to fail that they are saying what they are saying.

However..

Going after what you want could be showing up what,

They are NOT doing.. Or worse NOT WILLING TO DO.

You have this in fitness all the time, outside influence like.

“Why are you trying that?”

“I don’t think that will work”

“You won’t be able to stick to that”

And it can be a dent in your confidence because you don’t have the results yet and the self-doubt you feel can be made worse by those closest to you.
There are two ways around this.

1. Flip them off and argue with them and not move forward, or

2. Prove them wrong…

Even the thought of proving them wrong is enough to give you confidence.

It’s why sports teams will use anything to create the Them and Us divide, as it can be used as a huge motivator.

There is a saying:

“Stay away from negative people, they can find a problem in every solution”

But I prefer it this way…

“Play on the negative words of people to get you where you need to GO”

With trying to prove someone wrong you have a snipers focus and a drive to succeed.

Not sure if you’ve seen the “Last Dance” but in it, there is a story about how Michael Jordan was motivated by a comment about him not being the player he was.
But the player who said it not only didn’t say it but Jordan also knew that the fella didn’t say it.

He still used it to motivate him to play and absolutely dominate.

So the next time someones so-called “Help” stops you in your tracks going after what you want just,

Use that as fuel to do what’s needed and Outwork Your Competition.

And if the competition is you and who you were yesterday then you have an endless supply and benchmark to beat every single day.

Wanna see how we do the above Michael Jordan tactic ..
