Motivational Quote: Two Types of People by Ray Goforth

"There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed."
-- Ray Goforth --

A powerful quote from someone who is not so familiar but his quote will define who we are.

So what is the message behind this quote?

We have many friends but are they really true friends? We have many relatives but are they really true relatives? Do they really care for us? Are they wishing good for us? It’s really hard to define them, right? This quote will help us to define them or define ourselves. I hope you are not one of them.

We cannot deny the fact that negative words throw in us has a big impact over our personality, big impact to our dreams and to our attitude to attain those dreams. And some others are being depressed because of the words they hear especially the words they hear from their love ones. And it’s a big question for me why many people are doing this? Why they are throwing negativity to others? Is this a culture? Is this how humans think? I don’t think so. Now, because of this quote I can define them now and categorize those people. They are the people who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed. And they are afraid that you can achieve what they don’t achieve.

When you are trying to reach for your goals or trying to take a stand on something you believed in, you will hear different opinions from others. Some will try to support you- they will give you good advises and they will fill your heart and mind with all the encouragement you needed. Some will try to contradict you- they will criticize you and they will non-stop throw negativity on you. They act in such way because they are either afraid to try on their own or they are afraid for you to succeed with your goals.

Be sure to surround yourself with supportive people and those who have the same interests or beliefs like you. Stay away from those who are envious and cowards. Above all, trust yourself and take all the negativity you are receiving as a challenge.
