The antidote to naysayers

It’s a fact of life. People who can’t get what they want out of life try to grind down those who might. It requires vigilance to recognize it for what it is, no matter how it’s disguised. Non-achievers will constantly tell you why you can’t, why you won’t and why you shouldn’t. They will insist that other things are more important. Recognize the lie and resist it. Shield your ears, eyes, and headspace from naysayers. Don’t listen. 

If the poison still manages to penetrate your headspace, try this visualization exercise. Imagine the lightest feather you can visualize. Take the naysayer’s lies and set it on the feather. Then, imagine that the feather is now sailing away in the middle of the ocean.

Poof. Gone.
