Today's One Minute Monday is ignore the nitpickers. In your life, you are going to have the people who nitpick every little thing that you do and say and just try to bring you down. I call these people the little man, and you need to ignore them. You need to realize this is your life, you're in charge, and you need to live up to your own expectations, not the expectations of other people. I posted a post on LinkedIn where I was advising people, "If you want to connect with people, then you have to be authentic and vulnerable." And a guy writes back to say, "Vulnerable? I don't like that word. I don't think it fits. I think what you meant to say is open and human and natural." Are you kidding me? It's the same thing! You're going to have people who are out there trying to change the world who are trying to do good, who are trying to make the world a better place than when they came into it. They want to leave the world and have left it as a better place than when they came into it. And then you're going to have the other people who contribute nothing, who just try to bring other people down. And they don't like the words that you use, and they don't like the way that you say something. And instead of doing something meaningful with their life, they're trying to bring you down. Pay these people no mind. The bigger your dream, the bigger the thing you're trying to chase, the more you're trying to change the world, the more people are going to nitpick at you, are going to attack you, are going to tell you your ideas are wrong and stupid. Don't listen to the little man. Trust your heart. Believe. For those of you watching, like the video. Let me know what you think. Leave a comment underneath. Give it a thumbs up.
