The Best Revenge: Proving Them Wrong by Doing the Work

The Best Revenge: Proving Them Wrong by Doing the Work

Angel M Flener, LE


For those that know me, I refuse to accept someone limiting my dreams based on their own "Fear"...what I mean is when someone tells me that I can't accomplish a goal or an idea I want to achieve, I have learned that sometimes people will tell you it can't be done based on their own fear of failure. Pretty disheartening to say the least.

I remember when I was prepping to pitch at The Skin Games ( The Spa Tank) in March of 2024. The people I told I was going to do it were more afraid I wouldn't say the right thing or convey the message I wanted to convey the way THEY thought it shouldn't happen. I almost threw in the towels and didn't do it UNTIL ...well the rest is history!

Whether it's a friend, family member, or even a stranger, hearing that someone doubts your abilities can shake your confidence and make you question your judgements and decision. However, the best response to naysayers isn't to argue or try to convince them otherwise with words. The best revenge is to do the work and prove them wrong with your actions.



The Power of Determination

Determination is such a powerful force. When you channel your energy into working towards your goals, you not only silence your critics, but you also build a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. Every step you take towards your goals, no matter how small, is a testament to your dedication and perseverance.

  1. Set Clear Goals: Start by defining what you want to achieve. Make your goals specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). This will give you a clear roadmap to follow and help you stay focused.

  2. Develop a Plan: Once your goals are set, create a detailed plan to reach them. Break down your larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks. This will make the process less overwhelming and allow you to track your progress.

  3. Stay Consistent: Consistency is key. Show up every day, put in the effort, and stay committed to your plan. Even on days when you feel discouraged or unmotivated, remember that each step brings you closer to your goal.

Silence the Doubters

People who say you can't accomplish your goals often project their own insecurities and limitations onto you. By focusing on your work and consistently moving forward, you demonstrate that their opinions have no power over your potential. Actions speak louder than words, and your success will be the loudest statement of all.

  1. Ignore the Negativity: It's important to filter out negative voices. Surround yourself with supportive, like-minded individuals who believe in you and your goals. Their encouragement can provide the motivation you need to keep going.

  2. Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge and celebrate your progress along the way. Small victories can boost your confidence and keep you motivated. Each accomplishment, no matter how minor, is proof that you're on the right path.
  3. Learn from Setbacks: Every journey has its challenges. Instead of viewing setbacks as failures, see them as opportunities to learn and grow. Each obstacle you overcome makes you stronger and more prepared for future challenges.


The Sweet Taste of Success

When you achieve your goals, the satisfaction you'll feel will be immense. Not only will you have proven your doubters wrong, but you'll also have proven to yourself that you are capable of greatness. The journey may be long and difficult, but the rewards are worth every ounce of effort.

  1. Reflect on Your Journey: Take time to look back on how far you've come. Reflecting on your journey will help you appreciate your hard work and the growth you've experienced.

  2. Inspire Others: Your success story can inspire others who face similar doubts and challenges. Share your journey and the lessons you've learned to encourage and motivate others to pursue their dreams.

  3. Set New Goals: Success is not the end; it's a new beginning. Once you've achieved your goals, set new ones to continue growing and pushing yourself. The pursuit of excellence is a lifelong journey.



And Last but NEVER Least...

When people say you can't accomplish your goals, let their words fuel your determination. Focus on doing the work, staying consistent, and celebrating your progress. By proving your doubters wrong through your actions, you'll not only achieve your dreams but also become a source of inspiration for others. Remember, the best revenge is success, and the best way to achieve success is to do the work.
