Overcoming negative thoughts and pursuing your goals

By Ardiv Jauhari


How to get over negative thoughts? Well first, I am sure that most of you have experienced a scenario where you are far too thrilled about something that you are willing to do whatever it takes to acquire a certain goal, whatever it may be, but the individuals around you even those who are near to you seem to be very doubtful and absolutely non helpful. At first you might say to yourself "they're just over-thinking things" but due to the sheer amount of difficulties you were going through, you gradually started to think that they just might be right, right?

WRONG!

Why would you want to waste the possibility of you achieving something that others thought were impossible but YOU believed in yourself enough that you might just be able to do it? Why would you want to let them pull you down to their "safe, secure zone"? When you are aiming for your goals in life, there are bound to be difficulties and hardships, but that certainly does not mean its not achievable.

I'm not sure if you can relate to this story but I'm just going to believe that you can. There is this one wrestling game called "Hell In A Cell" (I probably got the name wrong, its been decades since I last watched wrestling) where a number of wrestlers are put together within the ring enclosed by a walls of steel. There is only one rule to the game, whichever wrestler that manages to climb the walls and get through to the other side will be the winner. If the wrestler get pulled down while going up the wall, he'll end up back inside the ring with the other wrestlers keep beating each other up.

You see, the game of life is very similar to this one, whenever someone who believes in themselves enough tries to go after success, there are always a bunch of "wrestlers" who will try to pull you back down, back to the "beating each other to the pulp" ring. But really, the key to really win this game is to persevere long enough and keep pushing for the goal, in this case, to get to the other side of the ring.

Convincing yourself that you can do it when there are bullsh*t happening all around you is not an easy task, I have experienced this first hand. But my advice to you is this, get involved with more positive people, get around those who are supportive in your goals. Finding these type of people is easy, if you keep on pushing through, these people will start to emerge and you'll start to realize your true friends.

You'll begin noticing that there are actually a lot of individuals who are prepared to be supportive. If you believe in yourself enough you'll discover a powerful purpose on why you are convincing yourself to achieve it and gradually the individuals who are pulling you down will start to accept it.
