Heads up. Two cents of wisdom to you my fellow dreamer:
“Can I change him? NO! It’s a full-time job changing yourself.” — Les Brown
I see the micro and the macro planning. I think you’re at a good start here. But the problem is with you trying to squeeze out all your energy in changing your family’s life-long beliefs.
I get where you’re coming from. I’m the breadwinner of my very poor family. Though you were 10+ in the house, I can say we were quite blessed because we were just 5. But, all the same, we were poor.
It was not until I read about Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad that I found an epiphany.
When I learned about “the secret,” I wanted my closest friends and families to know about it too. I wanted to share the blessing! But, that was a mistake.
You are NOT them. They were not the ones with the epiphany. They were not the ones with these “dream projects.”
STOP TRYING TO CHANGE THEM.
Instead,
- Focus on developing yourself. Confidence, positivity and belief are important factors for your success. But, always remember that you have a long way to go. Don’t waste time pushing other people to be you when you haven’t even reached your full potential just yet. They will just doubt you even more because you have no proof of what you’re talking about in the first place. So get to work and study hard.
- Balance your excitement. It’s important to believe in a project you’re working on, knowing that it would make a difference. But, when you’re switching your thoughts from the micro and macro planning — that’s a sign of over-excitement. During the implementation stage, leave your emotions out and let logic win.
- Execute like there’s no tomorrow. Just do. Set aside an hour or two for planning, mindset alignment and meditation. After that, move, move move. That’s the only way you can get things done.
Hang in there. I hope in one way or another, this helped.
