Video transcript
Stop trying to make everyone like you, it's a losing battle guys you'll never win. You know, we spend so much of our fucking time and energy just worrying about what other people think of us. We don't want anyone to disapprove, we don't want to offend anyone, we don't want to piss anyone off, we don't want to ruffle any feathers and have any negativity or criticism coming our way.
We just want to make everyone happy, we want to just try to please everyone, we just want everyone to approve and to love and like us. It's impossible guys, that will never happen. The moment that you can stop caring what other people think of you and stop giving a fuck, it's the moment that you'll be on the path to success in your life.
When you can break through the barriers, the limitations that holds millions of people back in the world today because they worry too much what other people think and they want everyone to like and love them, when you can break through that fear, those barriers, you'll be free in your life.
You'll be liberated, and that's when you'll have the success and results that you want in your life, you'll be unstoppable. Nothing will be holding you back because the truth is, in order to be successful in your life, you will have people that dislike you.
Haters come with success
You'll have people that hate you if, for no other reason whatsoever just because of the fact that you are successful, you're more successful than them, because when you achieve success in your life guys, it shines a spotlight on other people's missed opportunities and failures. It makes other people feel insignificant, like a failure, like they are not enough.
It's a mirror reflecting back at them. When you become more successful, it's going to ruffle people's feathers, people are not going to like that. They're going to post negative stuff about you, they're going to try to criticize you and bring you down so that they can feel better about themselves.
The most successful people in the world today and throughout history all have millions of people that dislike them, that hate them, but they've learned to stop caring, to stop caring what other people think.
As long as you have integrity, honesty, and you're focused on adding value and helping people, you're going to have millions of people that like and love you, but also many that dislike you, and you're going to have to learn to live with that, live with the consequences of that because it comes with it.
You can't have everyone to like you and nobody to dislike you, it doesn't work that way, guys. We live in a world where there is a lot of negativity out there, there's a lot of hate, there's a lot of people that are jealous and envious, you have to filter past that.
Stop focusing on negativity
If you look at the most successful people in the world, you can learn from them. They all have thick skin, they all don't focus on any of the negativity, they just keep moving forward and do what's right. They keep taking action, they believe in their vision, their mission because it's greater than themselves.
When you get caught up on yourself what other people think of you, you're going to be limiting yourself. You have to get beyond yourself, a mission greater than yourself, that's bigger, that even if people dislike you along the way that's okay because you're serving something greater in your life.
That's how you become a leader, that's how you become successful. You stop caring, you stop wanting everyone to like you.
It doesn't matter if people don't like you, it doesn't mean anything guys, it doesn't affect anything, they don't know you. There are people that don't like me online, that's okay, I don't know these people. I even don't know what I did, they don't like me for whatever reason.
Serve the people that love you
That's okay, it doesn't affect me one bit because, at the same time, I have thousands of people that love me, that receive value from me. Understand that you're not for everybody, you don't need to make everyone happy, you just need to make a group of people, a group of your tribe, your fans or followers, serve them.
Serve the people that are open to your message, that is receptive to you, that want to receive something from you. People that don't, that's okay they can move on, they can find somebody else, that's totally fine. They can live their lives different ways, that's okay guys, don't get caught up on that, don't worry about that. Not everyone is going to like you, that's okay, stop caring.
Guys, if you can break through that, with all honesty guys, it's going to change your life. Again, if you look at Barrack Obama the President … Look at Donald Trump. Donald Trump is successful, he's got a lot of people that love him and a lot of people that hate him, but he doesn't care.
Donald Trump
I'm not endorsing him, I don't have any opinion on American politics or anything like that, but you can learn something from that. You can learn, wow, that person, he has such thick skin and he truly does not care and give a fuck and even though there're millions of people that hate Donald Trump, in spite of all that he's successful.
That proves that you don't need to have everyone to like you to be successful. In spite of millions of people hating him, he has millions that love him and are loyal to him. I think even Donald Trump said that he could shoot someone and he still wouldn't lose any votes. I don't want to get any comments or debate about politics, Donald Trump, I didn't mean to evoke that, I wanted to just demonstrate the power of that.
If you look at Barrack Obama, when he won in 2012, 49% of people voted against him, 49% of people dislike him, but all he needed was 51%. You don't need everyone to like you guys to be successful because there's going to be times along the way, your family, your friends, they're going to be jealous.
They're not going to like things, they're going to disapprove, you got to be okay with that, you got to stay true to yourself. You got to believe in your heart of hearts that what you're doing is right. You have to have that internal compass that's guiding you along the path of success and not worry about the external pressure or what other people think because that's going to limit you and hold you back.
Just be you
Be the best that you can be. Don't try to be someone for everyone else, know who you are and be who you are, and be comfortable with that.
If other people don't like it, that's fine. As long as you are happy, as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and you like what's looking back at you, that's the most important thing.
As long as when the sun shines and you see your shadow that follows you, you can't escape it, that shadow, you've got to be happy with that shadow, you've got to make sure that you live your life with integrity and honesty, adding value.
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, as long as you're happy with yourself, you're happy with that shadow that's following you for the rest of your life, that's all that really matters guys, focus on that and you'll be successful. Peace out.
