“Don’t ignore the critics.”
This week has been a bit of an emotional roller-coaster for me. I spent the final minutes finishing up my website in absolute tears because someone who I care about a lot made it clear that they just do not believe in me or my work and was trying to steer me in a different direction, a direction that does not lead to living my passion but away from it.
It was in that moment as I saw my days of hard work come together on my computer screen through my streaming tears that I realized how important it is for people to NOT believe in me.
I have always had a lot of support to follow my dreams and my passions in my life. I have had people question what I am doing but simply because they had no idea what I was up to and not because they didn’t think it could be done.
And then I had my AHA Moment and I could not be more thankful for the ‘naysayers’ and ‘doubters’ and ‘dream killers’ because it only fuelled my flame and pushed me further and higher than before.
I don’t believe our entire purpose needs to be spent proving others wrong, but I do believe that when people don’t believe in us it is even more reason to shine our lights as bright as possible and show them it can be done. It makes me sad to think that so many people are not living their dreams and pursing their passions just because they think it is a waste of time.
I will live my dream career to help heal and inspire people, to move people far beyond their own comfort zone just as I have, to help people find their own inner light and remove all of the shadows and darkness in the way, to help people transform their bodies and their lives to the very best version of themselves possible.
I can, and I will.
