Throughout the years, humanity has reached a level of dependence on others. Pride and ego have been the culprit of losing independence. By seeking approval of others, we have allowed their views to shape our beliefs. If that’s not bad enough, we will fight and do whatever needs to be done to defend our beliefs. Where does disappointment come in? Well, in order to change yourself, your community, or your world, you have to be willing to disappoint SOMEONE. Furthermore, you will have to disappoint a great number of people. You see, people resist change. People will fight to remain in their comfort zone. In order to help our selves, we must resist the comfort zone, in order to help others, we must remove them from theirs. Average people see a comfort zone as peace, quiet, serene, even if it’s not. They see their comfort zone as normal and sometimes as success. Successful people always have a goal and are rarely comfortable in their endeavors. The transition of becoming successful from being average can be tough. It involves a great deal of disappointing others. It involves risks, failures, and lessons. These are things no loved one wants to see you go through. In their mind, your goal is not visible, only your current results are. They cannot see the big picture, they live day by day concentrating on fear. You, cannot afford to concentrate on fear. This discord causes friction between you, person breaking out of the average and into success, and an average person such as your loved ones. They don’t want to see you fail, they don’t want to see you in pain, and they don’t want to see you succeed because that world is unknown to them.
The unknown is where everything you don’t have is present. It is where everything you wish to experience lies. The unknown is outside of your comfort zone. My advice? Be willing to disappoint everyone and seek no one’s approval. Hang on to your values, those will serve you, but do not hang on to those limiting beliefs that hold you back. Take off the filtered mask and make decisions for yourself. Money is NOT evil. That is something someone told you. It’s a currency that allows us to afford what we want and help our families, communities, and countries. This is just one of the limiting beliefs that are holding you back. If you want to change, you must disappoint many, and you may find yourself walking the path alone while you search for other on their path to success. My advice? Find someone who has already done it. Talk to this person and ask for his/her help. Tell them you need to have people around you that prove that your goal can be achieved. Most will understand what you mean. If ever doubt and fear enter your heart or your mind, reach out to the people who have never doubted you. Only they can help. Stay away from the Nay Sayers until you’re experiencing visible results. Until then, you need the strength of believers.
Life is full of miracles, but these happen outside of your comfort zone. Disappointment is a necessary evil for change. You must disappoint someone even if they mean well. At some point you will have to disappoint coworkers, family members, kids, etc. Hold your vision close, and know that your path will change the people around you. They may walk away, they may temporarily step away, or they may stick by your side even if they think you’re crazy. Respect their inability to see your path, and wish them well as you continue on your path to change.
