IGNORE JOURNEY NOISES

Whilst building your goals or purpose, you must always ignore ridiculous and thoughtless comments. For if you stop, you may lose your momentum and prove them right. Thus, your sole mission, is to trust and build your purpose with so much conviction, that when the dust from their attacks settle, your results will invalidate their vicious & piercing criticism. In other words, not only will they be silent, but they will worship you.

Real world application:

You decide to start going to the gym and taking your health seriously. One day, whilst on your way to the gym, you encounter a good friend and they immediately ask, “where are you headed?” You decide to let them know that you’ve chosen to start going to the gym frequently because you are tired of being overweight and with low self esteem. You also mention that you plan to get into the best shape of your life!

Surprisingly, they start laughing and proceed to say, “Please, haven’t you been trying to lose weight since high school...? You and I both know this is just a temporary thing”.

Instead of proceeding to try proving your motivation or becoming defensive, simply smile and say, “Yeah, you’re right, it's been a battle. So, where are you headed?"

Then, digest their comment and continue on your journey. If you succeed, they will absolutely admire you and you will become their inspiration and idol.
