The Old Lands OTS 3.0

Did you know that Colonel Sanders of the famous KFC was turned down about 1000 times before he sold the recipe that labeled him famous and successful? That means that at least 999 people rejected and criticized him for one reason or another. But it also means that he was able to create joy on over 1000 different occasions by generating new ideas and trying new things until he eventually reached his goal.
Avoid Criticism and Your Goals Remain Un-Manifested
How do I know that Colonel Sanders’s priority was on things like being courageous, finding solutions, and learning from others? Because, if he would have focused on avoiding criticism he probably wouldn’t have reached his goal.
What do I get when I try to avoid criticism? When I am trying to avoid criticism I feel myself want to hesitate, I feel pressure in my chest, I want to sit on the couch and watch TV, and I tell myself things like “I will start working on my goals tomorrow” and “I can’t this is too difficult”. What is the end result of trying to avoid criticism? Stagnation, and my goals remain in my head instead of being made physical. What happens to you?
Everyone Manifests in the Same World
Just because we are deliberate creators doesn’t mean that we get to live in a nicer world or that things are supposed to be easier for us than it was for Colonel Sanders. No, we still have to deal with others disproving of us, putting us down, rejection and criticism. Yes, the universe is a friendly place, yes, we are supposed to get what we want, and yes, we still have to deal with criticism.
Even Deliberate Creators Have to Take Massive Action
I have heard stories about people living in a cave and manifesting something by using their minds. However, I have never actually seen it with my own eyes. So, if you are like me who cannot manifest by using just my mind that means that we have to get out of our caves, be willing to face criticism and take action to create, manifest and reach our goals.
The Desire to Live Life to the Fullest
One of the things I don’t like about being criticized is that I get embarrassed when it happens and up until a few years ago I would avoid it at all costs. I ended up putting my life and my goals on the back burner and become a couch potato.
One day it dawned on me that I was tired of hiding from criticism and embarrassment. In that moment I could feel that the desire to reach my goal became stronger than wanting to avoid being criticized and embarrassed.
You may also have to get to the point that living, learning, finding solutions, meeting new people that you can learn from, and trying new things is more fun than what avoiding criticism can ever give you.
You’re Supposed to Make Mistakes
Colonel Sanders probably didn’t start out being the best, or knowing the most. It is even possible that he made a few mistakes from time to time. However, he wanted his goal more than he cared about starting out the best, knowing the most or how many mistakes he might make and his consistent effort, action, and learning is proof of his dominant desire.
You Create More of What you Focus On
As a student of the Law of Attraction you know that the universe will help you create more of what you focus on. If given the choice of avoiding criticism or the choice to focus on things like seeing opportunities, finding solutions, and generating ideas, which do you want more of? Which choice helps you to create, manifest and achieve your goal if you were to choose it day in and day out? Which choice is more fun? Which choice gives you more joy? Which choice will give you more smiles? Which choice will give you more exhilaration?
Yes, criticism is not always the greatest thing in the world to deal with but trying to avoid it is even worse. Avoiding criticism will never give you the joy that generating ideas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], finding solutions, reaching out to others, or trying new things can.
It’s time to start living to the fullest even if that includes dealing with criticism.
