How many times have you been offered advice from somebody who clearly does not know what they are talking about? How many times have you heard friends, colleagues and sometimes family members brag about the way they do things that work every time? I would daresay that these moments are many and are indelibly imprinted on our minds, our hearts and sometimes our very soul.
As we listen and consider what is being put forth we are pained to being hearing the advice and the bragging. Each has it’s own stripes to impart on us. Ouch!!
There are two takeaways: 1.). Be kind and do not confront the advice giver or the bragger with harshness. Just let it go! As my brother in law used to say about these people, “Rave on bullshit, the crows will get you at dawn.” This my friends is perspective that allows us to be great in the face of haughtiness and arrogance so that we can salvage a relationship or to avoid personal damage. 2.) Determine to do the hard work in the dark (Note recent post by Jeff Later on Instagram). Further, decide to be better. Plan to be better. Go about the business of being better. Push so hard that it “shocks” your greatest critics. There is no greater victory! Tons of people want to win but the real courage belongs to him who is willing to Prepare to win. The real work is in the Preparation.
In closing remember to let the talkers talk—-alone! Then, quietly go about the business of silencing them with Herculean effort aimed at irrefutable results.
