“Don’t let negative energy pull you down and don’t let negative people to stop you or your dreams”
― De philosopher DJ Kyos
From the moment we wake up to the time that we go to sleep, we either hear, see, or face negativity and problems, some face it in their workplace while some others face it in their families, some face it with their spouse while some others face it with society. There is negativity all around us, and in every step that we take, even more so, for an Entrepreneur. But it is our responsibility and duty to ensure that it doesn’t overwhelm us.
There are 3 major forms or negativity
- Negative people
- Negative thoughts
- Negative state of affairs
Firstly, Negative people are always around us, always putting us down saying that we cannot do something, or that we don’t have the required skills to start something. For an entrepreneur, there may be 100 people who do not believe in your idea and tell you that you will be losing money by starting your own business. But remember that the greatest strength for you is that your idea if it can change the way people live for the better then pursue in your vision and bring it to completion. It is human nature to talk about people, at first they were discouraging you, and when you succeed they will encourage you. So let people talk, it’s your duty to fulfill your dream.
The second ones, Negative thoughts are the doubt that you have on yourself as an entrepreneur. To an extent, it is good as it will make you think twice before you add or delete something from your idea, but too much of it will cripple you and make you second guess everything that you do/ want to do. Breathe and Relax don’t let your own mind become your enemy. Every day wake up believing that you will be making a difference in the future when you pursue your idea. The more you believe the more real it will become.
Last, Negative state of affairs can be a real disappointment. When you see how negative the world is, it will almost break you. But don’t be too upset by it, because your idea can change how people live and even if one life is saved from the negativity through your idea/ your company. It is worth it. You will not be able to make a difference overnight, but the more you pursue your idea and make it perfect, you give others a chance to hope that things will be better. And that is all that matters.
Ultimately, for every negative person, thought or happening in the world, you have a choice whether you want it to affect you or not. It’s finally your choice on how you take that negativity and either use it to fuel your idea, or use it to give up on yourself.
