Everything that you say and do has an impact...whether you realize it or not.
One throw-away comment can easily upset somebody else...and one bout of feeling sorry for yourself can stop your motivation dead in its tracks.
Of course...it's not easy to keep yourself in control at all times.
But...you'll find that generally, the most successful people do exactly that.
I've learned the hard that it's easy to change my reality just by changing my view of something.
What do I mean by this?
Well...someone might send you an email complaining about something that might be entirely unjustified.
Yet...you question yourself as to what you are doing because of it.
Nothing 'real' has changed...all that has happened is that you were exposed to ONE other person's opinions...and it made you change your whole perspective!
It's so easy to do...that it becomes so hard to actually 'get over it'.
Now...I personally just try to let it wash over me...and stop and ask myself "OK...so what's changed?"
In every case...NOTHING has changed...the only thing that has is my view on what I am doing...which really is somebody else's view, not mine!
Unfortunately...most of the time...it's not easy to see how easily we are influenced on a regular basis.
All you need to do is to take a little step back and give yourself room to ask yourself...
