The hard truth about your "friends"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzfPfSgJYZI
Above is a presentation of hard truths, but truths nevertheless about your "friends" and relatives.
The tragedy is that often, people who are emotionally close to us thwart us and block us and even try to demolish our dreams. Sometimes, they can do all the above in a conversation of five minutes.
They've stopped growing as human beings, so they wonder why YOU would want to continue your personal growth.
If THEY couldn't make it to financial freedom or the realization of their dreams, who are YOU to believe that you can do it?
They think they are providing good advice when, in fact, they are only subconsciously trying to impose their views, their values or their narrow-minded ideology.
Are they evil? No. Are they bad intentioned? I don't think so. They just need help, although they express that need for help by destroying the dreams of other people.
This is why it's often hard for a person, especially a young person, to engage on the path of great success, whether in his/her career or business. He/she is SURE to meet with strong opposition from people who, unfortunately, have given up on their dreams.
Of course, you can't change people. But you can change friends. You can even move to a different city to avoid your relatives. But the best move is probably to accept the fact that such people need help, and that the only way you can help them is to become successful yourself.
I'm not at all saying that "success is the best revenge," because your friends and relatives, no matter how misguided they are in their philosophy, never meant to hurt you. However, regardless of their intentions, if they do hurt you, you ALWAYS have the choice to avoid talking to them.
Strangely enough, out of this negativity, something good might emerge.
Indeed, if you are a generous person and care about your friends and relatives -- and obviously, I'm sure you do -- then you will be motivated to succeed as soon as possible so they can see your positive results. Results are the only thing which will convince them that you have the right attitude in life.
