In our business and personal goals, it is so important to go tone deaf to the naysayers. We can do this essentially two ways. One, by pumping ourself up internally with positive self talk and externally with encouragers and supporters in our life, which give us tremendous confidence, and second steer clear of negativity whether words or people that are of that ilk. Who needs detractors? They drag you down. Confidence gives you single purpose and laser focus. Confidence adds fuel to keep you in a steady state of perserverance. Confidence allows your flame of desire not to flicker or diminish. Remember the story of the frog, and how "attitude" plays such a vital part in getting where you want to go.
I love this saying and what a great post! Thank you for sharing it!~

Happy Monday Gary! Oh how wonderful! There are many times I wish I was deaf to what is being said around me! I have taken to putting my ear-buds in and listening to chanting when I am with a group, when I can get away with it!
Even at home it is hard, I am constantly reminding them that spewing negativity will bring negative things right to your doorstep!
I have altered my thoughts drastically over the past few years. Feels much, much better too!
I must say, that you made my day with your frog story.
Make this Monday an awesome day Gary Woltal!
Wonderful Frog story Gary Woltal it does help to be deaf - yes it does

There is enough negativity in the world so it is best to avoid as much of it as possible.
Awesome story. That poor little frog thought everyone was happy and excited to see him go to the top, but little did he know, and it's a good thing he didn't.
I'm with you...don't let the naysayers get in your way.

Good morning Gary. This is a wonderful story and is so very very true. Thanks for sharing.
This is excellent advice to share.
Have a great day and an outstanding week.
This just show how negativity can impair you performance...Be strong and move forward.
Gary Woltal , read Roy Kelley's re-blog of your allegorical story of Mr. Frog and his trip to the top of the tree. Very nice.
Mindset is a powerful thing. I'm doing my best to elimiate the negativity from my life and sometimes the only answer is to be "deaf" to it, as you suggested.
