Dean Graziosi offers practical mental strategies for handling negative or toxic people who try to discourage your goals. He recommends a quick internal "game" — imagining whether you'd swap lives with the critic — to neutralize their advice, cultivating gratitude for their protective intent, and framing oneself as a "bigger future" thinker in contrast to "bigger past" people.
How do you counteract negative? People who attempt to steal your dreams, man, that's going to happen forever. A couple of things. First, people who try to steal your dreams. Here's a. You ready for a little game I play with myself? That sounded weird. A little game that I play inside my head is when I hear somebody tell me, oh, that's crazy. That'll never work. All that used to affect me, but now what I do is I immediately think to myself, and this is Sarah. Sarah. I immediately think to myself, would I change my life right now to be them? So they're giving you the advice on what you should do, what you shouldn't do, why you're crazy, why you're a dreamer, why this wouldn't work. Think to yourself, tomorrow morning, what if I woke up and I looked in the mirror and I was them? Would you be happy? Or would you be like, holy shit, Right? And if I think that in my head, I literally will get, like, internally, I might be going, okay, thank you. I appreciate it. Inside, I'm like, hells no, I. I wouldn't be them no matter what. So just think about that little game in your head. Remember, most people who tell you you can't are trying to protect you, so you gotta have gratitude for them. They think they're trying to protect you. And remember, they're bigger past thinkers. They think the best of their life is behind them. You're here with us today in our family, here and learning because you know there's a bigger future for you. So. So remember, most people are bigger past people. You're a bigger future person. You're not always going to jive with them.
