?How do I deal with close friends and family members who don't share my aspirations for success (and many times shoot me down)??
This is a very common problem.
Many times those closest to us trample all over our dreams and goals. They say things like, "That's just a waste of time", or "Yeah right, what makes you think you can do that?"
What gives here?
Aren't those closest to us supposed to be supporting us through thick and thin - picking us up when times get tough?
Here are two insights as to why your loved ones will try to trample on your dreams:
First Reason:
They're trying to protect you.
In their minds they believe that the true path is not the one you're taking.
They believe that you're going to get hurt if you go after "some crazy dream." They actually think it can't be done and don't want to see you get your hopes up and then fail.
They're still looking out for your best interests. But they just don't understand - they haven't "seen the light" so to speak.
Therefore they can't understand what you're doing and try to prevent you from pursuing your dreams.
Don't resent them for this.
They still love you - they just don't know what you're capable of. (And for that matter what they're capable of.)
Try to educate them.
Give them books like "How To Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Send them to websites like www.SuccessMethods.org
Do anything you can to help them get on their Path to Success. Show them the potential that they have inside.
Become a combined force destined for success!
Second Reason:
They're trying to protect themselves.
Many people don't think they can do it. They don't have faith in themselves and their abilities.
But they're not sure about others. They wonder, "Can you achieve where I've failed?"
Your loved one might have given up on a dream - resigning themselves to a life of conformity. (Or worse, not have even gone after their dream.)
But if you go after your dream and achieve it, and they didn't, how will they feel?
They may want to see you happy. But at the same time they don't want to be emotionally destroyed.
(Imagine that you went after your dream, didn't achieve it, accepted that it couldn't be achieved and continued living a mediocre life. Then you find out you could have done it all along.)
Subconsciously this would be devastating. So the mind takes steps to avoid this possibility from happening.
Thus, you - and your dreams - get shut down.
Don't take this personally either. They just don't know.
Perhaps they didn't try hard enough or persist long enough. Who knows why they fear success.
All that matters is that YOU know. Again, try to educate them and give them the power and drive to succeed.
You can do it. Don't let them bring you down.
You must bring them UP!!
So there you go...two explanations for the ?cynical relative.?
The most important thing for you to remember is that no matter what, you have to be your own cheerleader.
YOU must plan your goals and successes.
YOU must motivate yourself.
YOU must take action every day.
YOU are the only one who can make your life a success.
Go get everything you want in life. And bring as many people with you as possible - your loved ones first and foremost.
They'll thank you later.
Reported by InfoWorld in May of 2006, 97% of a sample 3,000 IT professionals suffered from stress due to the following conditions: taking on other people's work; lack of job satisfaction; lack of control over daily duties; and managerial pressure, interruptions, and bullying.
These conditions are mirrored by other professions and industries throughout the corporate world.
C.F. Jackson recognized that her mind was being drowned, day in and day out, when in the midst of her 40 hour work week. It stole from her the ability to place valuable attention toward her desires and dreams.
"Once I began to release myself mentally, psychologically, and emotionally I was able to magnify my dreams," she stated. It was through her drive to release herself that C.F. Jackson was able to analyze the corporate culture and environment. She created ways to manipulate her corporate mentality to bring forth her true self within an eight hour work day.
The key is this," she stated with a look of purpose. "It's to detach yourself mentally and emotionally from the job," she added. "People become so intertwined with a job, a company, the policies, the processes, the people, and environment that they become lost to themselves 95% of their work day," she expressed with passion.
The hustle and bustle of everyday work life deprives 97% of society from living their true destiny. To ask oneself: Don't I deserve to create and live the life I deserve? The vast majority of people are too lost in their job mindset to believe or engage in the thought of fulfilling or creating a deserving life.
Too often the corporate mindset dwells in the life of employees, way past the time they have clocked out from their job. Many people sit at home with thoughts of projects, tasks, and meetings soon to come. Now imagine how much one can achieve for themselves should their time and energy be redirected on their dreams and desires.
C.F. Jackson implemented these principles and techniques back in 2003 and brought forth immediate results.
She discovered in an eight hour work day the possibilities to achieve at least one to two daily action tasks. This helped her launch into her dream in 2003. Implementing and remaining focused, C.F. Jackson completed her first novel within a five month period. She later independently published it by creating her own publishing company. In addition, within a six month period she mentored four individuals into beginning their own businesses.
Isn't it time to discover how to:
1. Become detached psychologically, mentally and emotionally from the corporate job?
2. Create a more conducive work environment to focus on your dreams and desires?
3. Rid the "job ownership" mindset?
4. Relieve daily job stress?
5. Manipulate the work/corporate environment?
6. Transform the corporate mindset into unleashing your dreams?
C.F. Jackson believes everyone should take ownership of their corporate mindset to bring forth their desires and dreams. ?Isn't it time for America and everyone around the globe to take back their most valuable entity in life, their minds? C.F. Jackson asked with conviction in her voice.
