The best revenge is massive success. – Frank Sinatra
Maybe you’re not motivated by revenge, but it’s a great attitude to take towards your naysayers (even if you just fantasize and don’t actually rub their faces in your success).
What would be extra delicious to achieve and have your naysayers find out about? Go for THAT.
I am the Greatest. I said that even before I knew I was. – Muhammad Ali
Even Muhammad Ali had to build self-confidence. Of course, saying it doesn’t just make it so (I’m sure winning some matches helped!). But it’s still a poignant reminder that we have to be our own fiercest advocates. Many times, we are our first advocates.
Do you think you’re great?
