A few years ago, my wife Melanie was having dinner with a friend from her college days. She mentioned to this friend that I was working on a book. The friend suddenly became very negative and said, “Why in the world would he want to do that! That’s so stupid!”
This motivated me even more. But it also reminded me of an important truth: Not everyone in your life understands or appreciates your goals. There may even be some people who actively oppose you when you try to achieve bigger goals.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but this is a GOOD thing. In fact, you should be thankful for your critics! I’ll explain why on this episode.
