Everyone has an opinion.
BUT, why let the opinions of others deny you a life that will make history?
What are YOU holding back on because you are afraid of what other people will think, say, react?
Do you know how often I hear people say, “But what about…?” WHO CARES!
I am 100 percent guilty of always wanting to people please, always wanting to be sure I have taken everyone’s opinions and thoughts into consideration.
The other day, a gentleman said to me “…it’s been a while… what are you doing with your life…?”
WHOA… at that moment I felt small… I felt I had been playing small… he had expected a BIG answer, and I didn’t have one. His opinion of me shifted, and that mattered…all those other opinions had held me back, but this one pushed me forward.
For the past 4 years, I have been building quietly a plan, working on my purpose, and pulling together what I feel will be my legacy.
TODAY I acted on it. I brought in my first investor. My first believer in my plan if you will.
Mark it down, TODAY is the day that I stopped letting the opinions of others stop me, I let the positive in, and I put my first step forward in a life that WILL MAKE HISTORY (big and lofty, but just watch me).
