A couple of days ago I wrote a publication that I shared with all of you that I entitled Are you chasing your dreams or the dreams of others?, in which I mentioned the importance of having clear goals, of forming a specific vision of what we want to achieve in our lives, based on a motivational video by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, in which I mentioned a first rule that he says is necessary to have in order to achieve our life goals, and this is "to have a vision ".

In this second post, I want to talk about what is that "second rule " that he mentions as something necessary to achieve success, keep reading so you know what it is.

The second rule is :

"Don't listen to your detractors "

This is good to keep in mind, because the reality is that we must live first for each one of us, people will always have something to say about what we do, even if we don't ask for their opinion.
It is a rule, even if you are doing good, there will never be a lack of people who speak badly of you and even those who tell you that what you want to do is not possible, or that it will involve a lot of work, that it is not even something worthwhile, so for that type of person you do not have to worry, you do not have to dedicate time to it at all.

I could say that to a great extent the people who tell you that you can't do something, most probably it's because they've tried and couldn't, they're full of envy, they probably don't want anyone to do something that they couldn't do or that they just didn't try. I will leave the following sentence in relation to this that I have been commenting on:

"Envy is the homage that mediocrity pays to talent." Jackson Brown

What do you think about the previous sentence?

In addition to envy, this type of person is always full of bad intentions, there are those who want to feel that they are above you, not because they are going up, but because they want to make you come down, and this is not something that we should allow anyone.

Based on what I have exposed so far, I must say the following, by way of summary

• We must always set goals, have a clear vision of what we want, to focus and direct us in that search. Circumstances may change, or situations may arise that we did not expect, but the important thing is to stand firm and move towards what we want.

• Another important thing is do not listen to your detractors, there will always be people talking about what someone is doing, whether it is good or bad, there will always be those kind of people who will want to destroy another through their word, the best thing is to ignore what they are talking about, because it can distract us, and get us out of focus.

These are basic rules that we should consider, to achieve those goals that we set and to be successful, considering that success does not only depend on having large amounts of money and being famous, I must emphasize.

For now, I'm saying goodbye, that's all, so devote yourself to meditate on what you really want in your life, plan the best way and get away from people who do not give you anything, have a good weekend.

Thanks for reading me.
