Just remember something. When you have a powerful vision of what you want to achieve with your life, anything that prevents you from focusing on that goal is irrelevant. It’s just noise.
Have you ever felt disappointed because despite your hard work, your pay at the end of the year was not as much as you expected? Noise. Have you ever felt jealous because you’ve just found out that someone else you know has achieved something you’ve been trying to achieve? Noise. Have you ever felt down because you’ve just heard the news that your ex-girlfriend now has a new boyfriend? Noise.
Whenever you feel your mind is distracted, just think about this – in 20 years time when you’re reaping the rewards of your hard work and success, will any of these things be bothering you then? If petty things like the above are causing you to even procrastinate for 5 minutes, then I’m sorry to say but the vision you’ve set out for yourself just isn’t powerful enough. It doesn’t matter if you consider yourself to be an emotional person; it doesn’t matter if you consider yourself to be an introvert; it doesn’t matter if you think life is unfair; one thing is for sure and that is that if you really wanted to reach the goals that you’ve set out for yourself, you wouldn’t let any negative emotions come in your way, especially those of jealousy and disappointment.
And don’t get me wrong; there are certain things you cannot control. Some things like a death in the family or your house burning down are unavoidable blows to your life where the only thing you can do is remind yourself that whatever tears you apart can only make you stronger. I’m referring to noise as emotions you can avoid; the things you will look back on in the future and laugh at yourself for not dismissing in an instance – the things that prevent you from putting 100% effort into achieving your goals at this very moment in time.
So next time you’re feeling down and are thinking about which friend you can call to comfort you at 3 o’clock in the morning, just save yourself the time and remember that you have a much bigger purpose out there, and that all the insignificant worries you have in your life are nothing but distractions in your journey to the top.
Peace out.
