Handling the Numbers Game
When you’re out there making moves and striving for greatness, you will inevitably run into difficulties—especially in the form of people. But here’s the key: don’t let it stop you. Recognize that it’s simply part of the Game. The more you grow, the more you’ll encounter new individuals, and some of them will challenge you. But that’s OK—it’s a natural outcome of playing a bigger Game. Just as you experience highs, you’ll also face lows, but both are necessary for your growth.
Not everyone will like you, and that’s perfectly normal. People have different preferences, personalities, and perspectives, which means not everyone will resonate with you or appreciate who you are. In fact, as you grow and succeed, you may encounter more people who don't support or like you. This is often a natural consequence of success; it can provoke envy, fear, or competition in some people.
But here’s the kicker: these individuals are likely a very small percentage of the people you know—maybe only 1 percent. Instead of fixating on those who oppose or dislike you, focus on the larger group who support and appreciate you. The number of individuals who stand by your side is often much greater than those who don’t. Recognizing and valuing the support of these people can provide a significant boost to your overall well-being and self-esteem.
Focus on the multitude of people who appreciate and stand beside you. Recognize that success may attract opposition, but your supportive network is ultimately more significant.
Now that you've explored the power of overstanding your team and optimizing the players in your Game, it’s time to dive even deeper into the strategies and techniques for building the strongest, most supportive team possible. Learn how to identify and foster relationships that truly matter, so you can keep leveling up in the Game of Life.
Surround yourself with those who reflect your best self, and who challenge you to grow. The numbers Game will always be in play, but with the right people by your side, you’ll always come out on top.
