Use Others as Motivation

Don’t compete with others, but always show them when they are wrong about you. You always hear about how you should not do something just to prove to someone else that you can do it. I think that’s a fallacy.

When your character steps into a new arena, you’re going to experience resistance from people around you. You can use this as an opportunity to take back your control. Resistance doesn’t have to be negative. You can transmute it. Take this energy and use it as fuel to build up your character. Take the bricks people throw at you, pick them up, and use them as your fuel. Wherever you can get a drive in life, take it. Maybe someone breaks your heart and you want to show them how good you are. Why can't that be your fuel? Other people use your energy all the time. Taking this energy and building yourself up with it is a way of taking back your control. I look at this process as truly harnessing your energy to augment your drive. There isn’t anything wrong with why you're driven. It’s only important that whatever drives you inspires you.

I met resistance from other people at some points in my life. Sometimes, when you face resistance from others, it brings up your self-doubt and you question if you are good enough. Many of these moments led to my pushing through even harder. I told myself, “I am going to do better and be better. I am going to achieve this.” I used this resistance to prove that I was good enough. You can, too!

In the end, it’s not about proving anything to anyone else. It’s about taking the opportunity as inspiration and showing what you are made of.
