[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #40: For the Haters and the Doubters

Mar

Here are a hater…there a hater…everywhere a hater, hater…

Grrr…

They are everywhere aren’t they?!

Yes, they are.

I’m fired up because a good friend of mine on Facebook is all distraught right now. He feels like everybody is hating on him. This is what I explained to him:

For some reason the more successful you become, the more haters you have. I don’t know why it works like that, but it does.

Even though you already know that people’s opinions shouldn’t really matter, when someone is constantly shooting down your dreams and hating on you, that can be painful and challenging but…

Regardless of what anyone—especially haters and doubters—thinks about you, realize that…

A person’s definition of you does not define you.

Million Dollar Question:
If you know that someone is a hater, 
why should you care what he or she has to say?

HINT: You shouldn’t!

[VIDEO] Duncan Nugget® #303: Impact

Mar

My son, Mekhi, is fascinated with dinosaurs. Recently, he and I were watching a documentary on the possible causes for the extinction of the dinosaurs. The show talked the devastating impact of the meteor that created the Chicxulub (CHEEK-sha-loob) crater. Which is 110mi. (180ki.) in diameter. The impact was 2 million times greater than the most explosive man made device. That’s mind boggling.

This made me wonder: Can a human generate that type of impact? Of course not. Nevertheless, your ideas and actions can still have a timeless impact on the world.

The impact you have on the lives of others is the true measuring stick for what you do with your life. It could be positive impact, a negative impact, or no impact.

What are you doing to make sure you have a lasting
positive impact on the lives of other people?
