Stick to your agenda

When you start a goal, it is helpful, where possible to get support and feedback from others. There are also situations where you have started and part of the crowd starts to make some noise that can impact your progress.


It is possible to lose focus of what you want and what you are doing when there is too much noise coming from the stands. You might derail your progress or accelerate a situation that is not ready due to voices in the crowd.


This is one of the reasons people do not start a project, or they give up on their goals. They listen to what people are saying.




1. Noise from the stands can be disguised as lack of "likes". People post for likes, and if they do not get enough likes, they feel like a failure.


What you do can impact a few people and that is OK. You create ripple effects.

Besides, you do not build an massive following in a day. Rome was not built in a day.

Above all, let it not be about likes, but more about the quality of what you share. Does it benefit the greater good in a great way?


2. People who are projecting

There is someone in the stands who will try to block you. To stand in your way and remind you that you are not doing a great job. That there are others better than you. Be aware of such people and eventually detach.


3. Teachers or filters

There is nothing wrong with feedback, but you will find someone constantly trying to find something in your life to disagree with. Make note and ignore or evacuate.


4. Perfectionists

These people will be angry at you for sharing your certain views because they do not align with what they believe. You cannot please everyone. Do you.


5. Thankless club.

These are people who want you to step into your role and meet their needs, but cannot say a simple, " thank you for your time!" This is draining because you can end up feeling resentful and unwilling to help. Do things for you, not giving-to-get. The best thing to do when you start to feel resentful is to stop giving them your time.


6. You are not good enough club.

There are people who have their own idea of how you need to do your work or follow your dream. They differ from the perfectionist because they might want to access your content with their own stipulations. In other words, you are good enough to initiate your goal, but can only finish it their way. Eh, no!


7. Follow the crowd crowd

These are people who subscribe to mob-pyschology. If someone is not responding to you, they are not responding to you either. These people like to follow the actions of the crowd. You can be deterred by their attitude if you lack confidence, because you might have believed in them. Their hot and cold attitude can destabilise you.


8. Pressure cookers

These are people who want you to do this, that or the other! They want you to do it now, not tomorrow or any other time! They want you to subscribe to their ways of operating so that they can be in control and press the switch. Do not attach yourself to people who have a prescription of how to do things when they have nothing to do with the initiation of your goals. Follow your plan.


9. Definition of success

Some people will tell that success is about helping many people. However, you can help many people even if they are 10, compared to someone else's 1000. That is your part and your role in this life. Embrace it. Besides, you do not need a crowd. Be your own crowd first, and only keep around you, people who help you grow.


10. People who know your past

Some people fear stepping into the future because their past will come out. Everyone has a past. Besides, you are not your past and you are a flawed beautiful human. Let them bring it on.


11.The too hard club

There are people who will try to share all sorts of evidence to prove that it has not been done before and you cannot do it. Everything accomplished or invented was someone's idea. Keep going. Marcus Aurelius taught us, "

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach."



The main reason why you might be affected by these types of situations is because of lack of confidence and self-belief in yourself. If you embrace your humanness, whatever people say or do is their problem.


Work on your self-confidence and strengthen your self-relationship. You are good enough and you are doing enough. Do not let the voices in the stands drown your goal.
