Do you know who are Energy Sucking Leeches?

You will find many people who will not believe you can succeed in whatever you are trying to do. Not just that, they are great at draining out your enthusiasm as well.

I am not saying that these people are bad.

Some of them may be your relatives or well-wishers.
In all good faith, they would try to “protect” you from what you are doing. They have limited knowledge on the subject, and little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So respect them, but be a selective listener to what they have to say.

And some would be foes, in the guise of friends. They do not want to see you succeed. They haven’t done much with their lives themselves, and cannot see someone else rise.
The crab-mentality, if you understand what i mean.

These nay-sayers will instill all negative thoughts in your mind. And you would start to doubt yourself.

The only solution to this is to spend less time with people who do not add constructive value to your goals. And never get drawn into a negative discussion.

If you stay away from such energy sucking leeches ( with due respect ), you will see that you have more confidence in yourself. More energy. And you will perform better.

Believe in yourself, and just do it.
