Sometimes it be Your Own People 😔
By Jo
Success isn't just about personal drive and determination; it's also about understanding and navigating the temperaments of those around you. In the pursuit of your goals, recognizing the attitudes and motivations of the people in your circle can significantly influence your life’s journey.
Imagine you have a strong desire to achieve financial success. You're willing to travel the extra mile, invest your time, and take calculated risks. However, those around you may not share the same level of commitment. They might have different priorities, risk tolerances, or simply lack the drive to push beyond their comfort zones. This disparity can create friction and slow your progress if not managed wisely.
To set yourself up for success, it's crucial to align yourself with individuals who share your vision and work ethic. Seek out mentors, peers, and partners who are as committed as you are. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals creates a supportive environment that fosters growth and resilience. Their positive influence can motivate you to persevere through challenges and stay focused on your goals.
However, it's also important to recognize and respect the differences in others. Not everyone will have the same level of ambition or willingness to take risks. Instead of being frustrated by these differences, use them to your advantage. Understand what drives them, and find ways to collaborate that leverage each person's strengths. This approach can lead to mutually beneficial outcomes without shattering your own dream.
Matching your drive with others who reciprocate your determination is hard to find. It prevents you from feeling isolated in your efforts and provides a network of support that can help you navigate obstacles. But remember, your journey is ultimately your own. Personal perseverance means pushing forward even when others can't or won't match your pace.
In the end, setting yourself up for success involves a blend of personal ambition and strategic relationship-building. By understanding the temperament of those around you, aligning yourself with the right people, and maintaining your own drive, you can elevate yourself to new heights. Embrace the differences, stay focused, and keep moving forward. Your commitment to self-elevation will pave the way for the success you envision.

We all fight our own battles. Some we can see, and others are less obvious.
What’s challenging for you is a cake walk for someone else.
Your “cake walk” is someone else’s challenge. Just something to consider.
Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy
I’ve heard this phrase a lot recently, however, I heard it in a CEO interview this weekend and this message resonates so well for most of us. I agree, comparison is the thief of joy and you can’t allow this to diminish your efforts as you continue to grow.
It’s in our nature to compare ourselves to others. It’s kind of ingrained in us from an early age. Did you ever have a star chart during your younger years in school? We are taught to measure ourselves against others and no wonder why so many people are unhappy.
Competition is healthy, but anything in high enough doses becomes problematic.
Showing Up Is Half The Battle
How many times have you shown up when you didn’t want to? To work? School? For family? Life?
The older we get, the more life roles we acquire. To maintain our roles can be taxing and an invisible stressor that can cause more harm than good.
Don’t sell yourself short. Getting out of bed daily can be a huge victory. Take pride in that you continue to fight the good fight as life comes at you non-stop 365 days a year 24/7. It’s not easy.
Give yourself more credit.
