When we think about our opportunities and challenges too
often we focus on the negative things that can happen. We think about
everything that may go wrong, how much money we may lose, who may not support
us, what deals may fall through, and who
may not show up .
We allow these messages, thoughts and negative visions to
run rampant in our mind. Like wild
trolls they run to every corner of our mind posting up negative signs “STOP !” ,“Don’t
Go !”,“ Stay!”, “Danger”, ”You’re not good enough!” “You’re too old!”, ”Who do
you think you are?”. Soon our vision,
dreams and hopes are drained of energy, because they are diverted with
negativity and despair every time bringing them to life through action is
discussed.
We even began to trust these trolls and employ them as a board
of advisory whenever it’s time to make a move toward our goals. We try to
validate the minutes captured at the pity party and misery meeting we attend
with this trolls. We do this by seeking negative justification in our mistakes,
failures, or upbringing.
FIRE THESE TROLLS !! Their wages are your hopes, energy,
dreams, aspirations, goals and happiness. You can no longer afford to pay
them. They are working over- time and
demanding more benefits.
I look toward people like Missy Ohe (pronounced “O”) when
the trolls in my head start talking. Missy Ohe is a radio host, keynote speaker ,and John Maxwell
Trainer. She surrounds herself with
motivation, talks about inspiring topics, promotes goal achievement and
encourages us to make a difference. Every
Sunday morning at 8:30AM, you can tune into the Missy Ohe Show on Your QFM
104.9FM. Her show features a variety of different speakers covering a wide
array of positive topics.
As a speaker Missy Ohe often focuses on us enjoying our
journey. Yes, we will have challenges, fall down and make mistakes. However we
will also make progress, have new experiences, enjoy success, and meet new
people. We will encounter some trolls, but we will meet some angels too.
Missy won’t leave you lingering alone with motivation and no
way to navigate your course. As a fellow John Maxwell Team member Missy offers
experienced and proven coaching and training to assist individuals, groups and
organizations achieve their goals while empowering themselves and adding value to
others.
LET’S FIRE THOSE TROLLS, and get moving on our journey
!! We are here for a reason. We have a
purpose, and there is much more to life than what those negative trolls are
offering.
