Don't let earthquakes get in your way.

Not in the literal sense. Of course if an earthquake shakes, you should stop doing what you are doing.. don't text and tweet instantly. Worry about your safety and those around you.

But for the fact of the discussion, don't allow anything stop you from succeeding.

Take the earthquake for example and replace it with a person.

If that person is yelling at you and telling you are worthless, ignore them. They probably don't know what they are talking about and if anything it's likely they aren't going to get very far acting that way.

So next time something simple gets in front it, ignore the earthquake and prove it's 5.8 magnitude's little butt wrong.

    Hey Greg,

    That's actually quite inspiring.

    Today was the first time I ever dealt with an earthquake. And I know a lot of people joke us Eastercoasters but it was pretty scary.

    It felt as if a bomb had gone off somewhere close by.

    So I have no clue how someone could handle these on a periodic basis. And I definitely feel for Japan. That was a chaotic disaster and it's terrifying knowing that it can happen anywhere now (never knew the East coast really had earthquakes).

    Nice post Justin. I completely agree. I like your example of people getting in the way of your success. Toxic people are a major pain to deal with. A lot of the time it's not a person who has malicious intent. It could be a friend or a family member.

    You'll usually encounter this when you venture outside of the social norm....like Internet Marketing instead of getting a "regular" job. My parents to this day still don't understand why I am an Internet Marketer.

    They may not understand why you're doing what you're doing. For example, I used to be fat. I was about 75 lbs. overweight and when I was trying to eat healthy at family functions, out a restaurants, etc. people would try to shove garbage food in my face. It wasn't because they were being a jerk...they just didn't understand how BADLY I wanted to lose the weight.

    Then you have the people that are actually jerks. These people are ridiculous. It's usually pure jealousy or they're just not a decent human being. Let the garbage they say be fuel for the fire.

    Hey Greg,

    Yea dude. I mean personally that was the only earthquake I had ever experienced so far in the 22 years that I have been on this earth, but it was terrifying.

    Every time I get on my motorcycle now I kind of wonder what would happen if a earthquake struck right when I hit 70mph.

    Scary stuff.

    I never felt anything more than a tremor. I can just imagine the thing but imagination is not really spooky.

    Justin, Thank you for this inspiring post! I feel stronger after reading it, because understood that someone has much more difficulties, than I have, but he or she don't stop moving to their goal in spite of fear. I forgot about my problems, and started working harder!
