Thanks for visiting Calin,
I agree the negativity in ones own mind can be very powerful. That is why it is even more important to stay away from the naysayers. “another day in paradise” I’m with you on that but, it must be sought for with ardor and attend to with diligence.

Bill, I have just seen your blog today…it seems like I missed a lot.
As for the answer of how we deal with naysayers…We can adopt a wide range of attitudes with people who doubt their power to acomplish great things or who simply don’t know how to be happy.
But what if life itself is sometime the most powerful naysayer we have in front of us and it fills your mind with doubts about what you can or you cannot do… In this case the alter ego becomes the naysayer. So then you rise and shine from the bed every morning saying “this is another day in paradise”, laughing with your wife and children and telling to your mind it was mean and nasty the other night…
As for the real naysayers, what if we try not to turn them to believe in something but to make them laugh. Today, tomorrow, the next time… Maybe they’ll realize life is not about saying no but is about making other people happy and living amongst them.

Hey Billy,
Great reminder that we live our life playing to the level of talent that we chose to surround ourselves with. When someone is negative we can accept that is where they are, and that we can’t bring them with us.

Thanks Bill,

In some cases the barrage of negativity can be overwhelming. Self doubt is natural and so should be self appraisal. To thy own self be true- is not just cliché.

Thanks for passing this along.

Thank you Betsy,

I like your point on choosing. We as people can only control two things in this world, our actions and our attitudes. We can choose to commiserate and wallow or we can choose to be proactive and constructive. We can also choose our companions.

Billy,
Great blog. I’ve forwarded it to a coaching client who in turn is an Achievement Coach for young adults. They here naysayers constantly. All of us do to some degree. The key to me is remembering that self esteem and self confidence are totally dependent on ME, thus the use of the word self. When that starts to get shaky, I contact one of my many influencers, any one of which will remind me why I’m on the path I’m on.
Thanks again. @wcellis
