Swim Against The Current

28 replies
I find it so amazing and interesting to swim against the current, all the successful people that i investigated
their life swim against the current.
This is not easy but once you are doing it, you are on the right track.
Only 1% of the population earn around 96% of all the money that been earned.

So think for yourself now if only a very small group of people knows how to make money and how to make their
business successful and accomplish everything that they desire, that means that they are doing something different than the masses.
Do not listen to the people who try to stop you and tell you "you will never be successful", once you are starting
to act different than the masses they will do anything to stop you.

Not because they don't want you to succeed, it is because you are doing what they want to do but do not have the courage to do.
You are representing what they don't have the courage to become, so in most cases it's just better to keep it to yourself what you are doing.
People like changes what they don't like is been changed, so one of the reason people will not support you is because you are changing and they are not they are staying the same.

Most people just want to make it safety to death, Do not live like them be different think different act different do things different.
How Do you know that you are on the right track? Once the people around you that never accomplish anything in their
lives start telling you, the following sentences you will know that you are on the right track.

"You will not succeed"
"You are to young"
"You are to old"
"You don't have the right education"
"You are jumping over your head"
"This is not like you"
"You dream to much"
"Who do you think you are"
"This will never work"
"You know nothing"
"This will be a waist of your time"
"It doesn't worth the risk"
"The risk is to high"
"Your just a kid"
"You live in a fantasy world"
"You will lose"
"The business world is to big for you"
"Wait this is not the right time"
"You have no money"
"The system is corrupted"

As you all know the list can go on and on and on and on, I see it amazing how people will focus all of their energy
just to see why we should not do things.

Do Not Listen To This Kind Of People they will knock you of your game!
So once you decided that you want to start your own business, share it only with people who will give
you their blessing and support you.

Don't let anyone stop you from being who you are, listen to your heart and your soul because you know that the
worst feeling is the feeling of regret.
You will look at yourself ten years later and will ask yourself, why did i listen to those people I ruined my life.
So Swim Against The Current! and you will be on the right track. This is good!

    So true. It's important to be yourself even if it means you need to swim the other way.

    By the way I'm sure the other "fish" will follow your way, when they realize it's the right way

      It means: do whatever you LOVE to do!
      It means: have a open mind!
      It means: question everything!
      It means: believe in yourself!
      It means: take action!

    Well it's definitely hard but hard, but at the good thing about this is that you keep learning and the more you are challenged the more you are eager to pursue.

      I like this, think it was James Kahn from Dragons Den that said he does the opposite of what everyone els is doing, for example if everyone is selling property, he looks at buying it.

    Good stuff! It's not easy to not listen to those people who keep us down but if we really want to succeed in life we will do everything what we think is right and what we think will work for us. Been through this kind of situation before and a lot of people tells me "I don't think your plan will work" and I listened to them but after a few months of thinking hard about it I finally started doing what I think is right and it worked. Too bad it took me long time to do it because I listed to them. But one good thing about it is I learned something from it. And will never do it again.

    honestly .. it is more from the realm of

    they don't think they could do it.

    and they don't think you aare better than they are so they don't think you can do it either ..

    and if you do it ..it shatter their ego..

    most of the people around you or who think they know you ..only want you to change what annoys them about you ..and do not want you to improve yourself that much .

    that is not the current to swim aggainst..the current you swim against is the one you have to fight to get from the pond you are in ..to a new lake filled with new people and fresh opportunities ..

    Wise words my friend. Clearly if an extremely small percentage of people are achieve extreme levels of success they're doing something different from everyone else. It's funny when you spend time around average people and then you spend time around successful people and you will quickly see why the successful people are successful and the average people are making average money, or even worse, they're broke.

    Successful people, are.....

    -Willing to step out of their comfort zone daily
    - Prioritize the important things
    - Take Responsibility for everything
    - Aren't afraid to be leaders
    - Never/Rarely make excuses
    - Do what most people would consider unreasonable or strange

    Average people are....

    - Always in their comfort zones
    - Worry about the wrong things
    - Procrastinate
    - Blame others when things go wrong
    - Follow and never lead
    - Always make excuses
    - Afraid to stand out

    Which one are you?
