Everyone will doubt your ways.
They’ll point out every potential pitfall, offering advice on things that don’t matter. These are the same people who will never truly understand your journey. You have to block them out and focus on those who have achieved success.
Taking advice from failures is like taking diet tips from someone overweight, relationship advice from a serial divorcee, or money tips from someone broke.
Yes, they might get it right sometimes — accidentally. Even a blind man can guess the colour of a traffic light correctly 33% of the time.
But you wouldn’t trust a blind man to drive you through an intersection. The same goes for advice from people who haven’t lived through success. They will be more wrong than right.
Most people have never succeeded at anything.
They’ve coasted through life on social safety nets or sheer luck.
They don’t understand what it means to control their own destiny. But you do. You’ve faced impossible odds and come out on top. You’ve lived through the do-or-die situations where failure was not an option.
That kind of focus and dedication is what leads to domination in any field.
Because when you win, you look back and realize the difference between winners and losers isn’t talent — it’s intensity.
It’s the classmate who crams the night before an exam, only to fail, while you’ve studied consistently and earned the A. They’ll complain the system is rigged, unfair, but you know it’s about the work you’ve put in.
Losers make excuses. Winners? Winners win.
This is why losers will never understand the mindset of winners. They’ll call you lucky or crazy because they can’t comprehend the idea of pushing themselves beyond the limits.
But you? You know it’s not luck. It’s work. It’s faith in your ability to outwork everyone.
The only thing you need when starting a journey to success is belief — the belief that hard work will get you there. And if you can find someone who’s done it before, follow their lead.
The world will mock you, they’ll wait for you to fail, but they don’t understand that you won’t quit.
“Your haters are out there holding their breath, waiting for you to fail. Make sure they suffocate.” Chris Williamson.
