I dont know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. -- Bill Cosby I learned this about a year ago…after I had some very negative comments from strangers, acquaintances, and even a few close friends about my choices and decision to become a Coach. Im a fairly sensitive person, and do NOT do well with confrontation. But after a while, realized that Im not living my life for others…Its MY life, so I will do what makes me happy and what I feel called to do. If someone doesnt like it…thats their choice and I will not dwell on their negativity when Im making positive changes and trying to influence those around me to do the same. Thank goodness I didnt listen to them…I wouldnt be where I am today! Phew! Most have come around…but those that havent - thats fine, I dont need their approval to love the life I live. I dont even see their comments anymore bc Ive filled my life with those that support me, even if they dont participate in what Im doing. when people are judgmental, it does the opposite of what they think…and just makes THEM look bitter and unhappy with their own lives. Its sad, really. So do you boo-boo, and Ill do me ;) Im still going strong, and so proud of those who have kept going with me
