When you are surrounded by too many people you end up not hearing the right people saying the right words. You end up not even hearing your own inner voice. And you end up distracted.
Over the past couple of weeks I had the privilege of chatting with the CEO of a growing company. At the height of her company growth, her company experienced a lot of challenges and delays. In the midst of these challenges she focused on what she needed to do to deliver and she moved away from the negative noise that was being spoken by the frustrated people about her company. Few days ago I met up with her to find out how are things going, she then mentioned that they are up to date now as the delays have been cleared. I even told her that the negative noise was no more on social platforms about her business. Her response was so amazing. She said, I dont even know that there was a noise and what was it about. For me her statement told me that it helps to move away from the voices that will not add value. Some people quit an opportunity because of the noise they see or hear and miss out on the valuable opportunity that could change their lives.
Refuse to be influenced by unfamiliar voices that will influence you negatively. Refuse to allow people to make noise to your ear and end up stealing your best life. Always make sure that you have some alone time where you will be able to hear your own inner voice speaking and revealing the future you want to see in your life. A noise from the crowd might not be what you told yourself about your life, but because you stay too much with the crowd, their voices will eventually move you away from your destiny.
