Nobody Should Stop You


Getting things done is hard for a lot of people. While this is frequently attributed to indiscipline, I believe that the people around you have a big part in this and this has often been overlooked.

The people around you either motivate or discourage you from getting things done. The people that motivate you to get things done praise you, affirm your capabilities and offer you a hand when you have something that needs to be done. The people that discourage you from getting things done belittle you, question your capabilities and disrupt you when you have something that needs to be done.  Invariably, these people make it hard for you to get things done.

Someone once said, "People who say it can't be done shouldn't stand in the way of the person who is doing it." In my analysis, they were right. You should never allow someone who is pessimistic to disrupt you from what you are doing.

Not everyone is optimistic. Some people are pessimistic and that is just how they are. I have no problem with this so long they do not interfere with other people's efforts to get things done. So should you!
