Step 1: Recognize where the negative doubters are coming from.
When you have a better understanding of why they may be doubting you, you'll likely feel compassion rather than annoyance or a compulsion to comply with their low-end goals.
Realize that many of the negative people have failed to get something that they had once hoped for in life.
In turn, they can end up projecting their loss or failure onto you because that's how they see the world––a place that knocks you back rather than nourishes your hopes and spirit.
Try to see their attempts to dissuade you as an act of care, however misplaced, for they may well be trying to spare you the pain that they once experienced.
It's not a reason to stop pursuing your goals, but it can help you to better understand their negativity.
It can be even harder when what you're aiming for is exactly what they once aimed for but failed to reach; in this case, it's probable that they'll be full of all sorts of unhelpful advice guaranteed to put you off rather than spur you on.
See their loss for what it is––sadness, resentment, and a touch of envy, then be compassionate.
However, don't let it seep into undermining your ambition, goals and hopes.
Indeed, use their example as what not to do. -
