Dec.20.22 - Day 1543 - Don’t be afraid of the noise
No one is paying attention to you anyway so stop letting it bother you. All the opinions of people you don’t care about are affecting you. Why? Why are you scared of what they’re going to say? Why are you scared of what they’re going to laugh about? Who cares. They’re not paying attention to you so why are you worrying. Just execute. Focus on the work. Focus on the process. Focus on showing up every day, failing forward and making progress. What you want to achieve for yourself doesn’t happen overnight and doesn’t happen without you taking risk and putting your stuff out there. Get to work and get to executing on your dreams. Stop being afraid of all the noise. Stop being afraid of the reactions. Some people won’t like you. That’s ok. Your job is not to please them all. Your job is to show up for the people that care again and again till you go. This is not a temporary thing, this is the rest of your life and I’ll be damned if I don’t put my best effort forward. That’s all that matters. That’s all that counts. Always do your best, one of the four agreements. Those agreements can be life-changing if you always do your best, never take anything personally, never make assumptions and always keep your word. Greatness awaits those who fail for a long time but keep showing up. Maybe you will get there one day but till then, get to work.
