How to Ignore Haters and Naysayers
Critics, haters, detractors. They will always be there. Anyone on the road to success has them and must know how to stay motivated despite discouragement and criticism. People project their insecurities and fears onto others and this is the driving force behind negative behavior.
What you need to understand is that these people are telling you what they think about themselves, not about you. So if they tell you that finding your dream career is impossible, this is what they believe for themselves, not for you.
They are simply projecting their own beliefs onto you, and you really have nothing to do with it.
Realize that you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
Many negative people are the ones you can never help, anyway. They are not ready to do the job and like to blame others for things that go wrong in their lives. You won’t get anywhere if you try to convince them, so let them get on with their lives.
Do you know who you are
If you know who you are, negative comments won’t affect you. Know what your intentions are and what motivates you. Knowing this, it will not matter what others say. Those people don’t know you, so don’t let them get you down.
hug your enemies
When people disagree with you, it means that you have the guts to do something that has real meaning in your life. And you can use your enemies and detractors to keep you going.
If you are just starting your journey towards building your business, be prepared to deal with many enemies along the way. This means that you are on the right track.
Look at them as rites of passage. Know that they are there to remind her that what she is doing is admirable. But more than anything, don’t lose focus.
Eliminate detractors from your life
The detractors are a veil for the possibilities of life. So spending time with them will only cloud your dreams. Eliminate them from your life if possible, or reduce contact with them. Whether the person is a friend, colleague, or family member, don’t spend all your time with them. Reduce the time you spend with them.
Find socially related people to hang out with. Sometimes it’s sad if the detractors are your loved ones, as it becomes difficult to share your goals with them without getting discouraged. But think about it positively. Maybe they are putting you down because they don’t know the great possibilities of life.
Tune them in
If someone puts you down and gives you bad advice, tune them out. Just because they have something to say doesn’t mean you should take their advice.
No matter how focused you are on your goals, detractors also strongly believe in your views. So there is no need to seek their affirmation or agreement on your plans.
