Never Let Them See You Sweat
Sorry so long to get my next post up here! It’s been a busy busy busy week! As most of you know, I write web content for travel sites and recently, assignments have been coming in with a vengeance. But I am making time today since I’m not working because it’s my birthday! LOL. Here’s today’s quick tip: There is an old saying, “familiarity breeds contempt,” and we never want to think that that applies to OUR friends and OUR relatives, but sadly it does. Thankfully, not to ALL of them! I have a lot of friends and relatives who are stalwart supporters of everything I do. Unfortunately, I also have some that allow the green eyed monster to take over every time I get a few hundred more sales.
Why we can’t just all support each other in ALL of our successes, I don’t know. But the warning here is this: DON’T let people like that affect your emotions in a negative way. Unfortunately, that kind of person will ALWAYS be there. Sadly, they are the one constant thing in your life… People who sit there with that sarcastic little smile or make a snarky little remark because you are celebrating your success. Ghost it away! I’m not saying cut a friend or relative out of your life over things like that, but ghost away their negative vibe. Do whatever you have to do, pretend it doesn’t exist, pretend you didn’t hear it, pretend it was a stranger who said it, create whatever alternate reality you have to to get that stuff out of your head because otherwise you are letting naysayers live rent free in your mind. Stop it in its tracks, and every time you hear something negative, remind yourself of how far you’ve come and how successful you truly are. If you do that, you will realize how little their words mean!
