The Painful Side of Success
When we watch these inspirational videos, and listen to motivational speakers, we have to understand that many of these people have become successful in their lives, but there is pain that is involved in becoming successful. Today the team at Hear 2 Help You speaks candidly about the difficulties when pursuing success.

Pain is Inevitable!
Every successful person travels a painful journey. Suffering is an integral and essential part of any real pursuit of success.
It is so Hard; I am so Tired; I want to Give Up!
As you wonder through your more directionless times on your journey, you will experience intense moments of feeling lost and hopeless. It is during these times you must hold tight to your vision and take back control of your motivation. You must prepare yourself mentally to fight that little voice inside your head that becomes a force to reckon with when you have to push yourself to keep going when you don’t feel like it.
“But I Thought You Were My Friend!”
(You will Lose Relationships)
As you succeed, there will be a handful of people who will not be willing to support you. Success takes a tremendous amount of effort and sacrifice. The effort and time you need to put into your journey will not be tolerable to some who feel you owe them more of your time, effort or energy.
But What If I Fail? What if You Fly?
Risk taking is at the very heart of any quest for success. You must leap into the void of the unknown and see what happens. When striving for success you will consistently face choices which involve risk. Risk is, by nature, scary. You may lose your life savings or lose your reputation. You risk criticism and humiliation. You will likely have to pick up the pieces and start all over again, time and again. On any path towards success you give up what you know for what could be.
Introducing, the NaySayers Club!
There is a popular thought that you should keep your dreams close to your chest because if you share them you may pillage them to dream-stealers and naysayers. The human mind is programmed to believe the negative. Negative thoughts are extremely contagious and when you set out on the Road Less Traveled you will have an audience full of small-minded people trying to scare you and discourage you from chasing your dreams.
Don’t Take it Personal; Haters will just Hate!
Reality is, people don’t tend to like other successful people. There is a jealousy that comes along with being different, standing out and humbly chasing your dreams. Small people hate those who have or do everything they lack. Dealing with jealousy can be difficult, especially if you want to maintain your relationships with certain people, or if they are a big part of your life. You may need to let them go.
“I Don’t Know if I Can Do This!”
The Power of Doubt!
Nine times out of ten, when you start a new venture you will go in and out of feeling utterly paralyzed. It’s because you doubt yourself. Sometimes you may doubt your knowledge, decisions you have already made and you may doubt your instincts. All of this doubt creates an internal conflict over what you need to do to move forward. You doubt because you don’t want to make the wrong decisions and end up in an unrecoverable mistake.
You have to know that what you are doing is right.
You have to believe that you will succeed.
You have to trust the process.
When the right thoughts and actions are combined there is nothing you cannot achieve.
It all starts with you!
Much success everyone.
