Winning Truth Number
6
Fuel the Fire
Winners have developed the power and mental strength to ensure any comment made to them fuels their fire. The more comments they hear, the bigger and brighter their fire burns.
They see comments as the firewood that keeps them going.
What type of comments? You may ask. Positive and uplifting comments or negative and downright condescending comments?
Well, both.
Winners use positive comments as a pat in the back and further build their confidence to move forward. They also use the negative comments as a boost because now they have so much more to prove. They have to first prove it to themselves that they have what it takes to get what they want. In the process, they will also help put the naysayers to shame.
Don’t do what most people do. They take negative comments to heart. They use negative comments they hear as reasons to stop doing what they want in life. They let negative comments extinguish their fire.
You are the owner of your life remember? Winners know that the best way to silence their critics is to gain massive results. They don’t spend their energy getting into disputes. They rather focus their energy to get results.
So, as a winner, learn not to let negative comments affect you. Just treat it as firewood that feeds your fire. Soon that fire will be so big and so bright that those who criticized you will smell the smoke, even if they happen to be on the other side of the world.
Find every way and every reason you can to fuel your fire.
I hope, whilst you are reading and reflecting on this book, I provide you with sufficient fuel in order to get out there and create a winning inferno.
When most people let comments break them, you can now use them to breakthrough.
Get out there and blaze that trail.
Take a moment to reflect on this truth. Consciously live this truth in week 6.
