Once upon a time there was a fellow by the name of Al Capp who wrote a comic strip called "L'll Abner." He had some characters in his comic that lived in a town near Dogpatch.
They were the town bums, the failures whose whole aim in life was to pass judgment on others. Their criticism and ridicule became so vehement that in time the rest of the people in the town became acutely conscious of it. "The boys down at the stable," as they were called because that's where they spent most of their time, soon set the social standards of the town.
Nobody could do anything without their OK.
Because they lived within the structure of their crummy little world, they would laugh and point their fingers at anyone and everyone who tried to be better than they were. As a result the people feared the ridicule of the boys down at the stable so much that they stopped trying. Soon everybody became bums and the town died.
In every social structure…family, town, county or state, there are "The boys down at the stable."
They are the jealous ones.
They are too scared to try something different.
They show their ignorance by laughing at those who do.
Learn to recognize them for what they are. Don't let them hurt you. It takes a certain amount of toughness to live today.
Make a decision to not listen to those that don’t believe in your Dreams.
Align yourself with people that do.
Then pursue your Dream with GUSTO!
Take these 10 steps and apply them to any goal for 30 days...then watch your goals come to pass!
