You actually need people with negative mindsets in your life.

 You need the doubters. You need the ones who laugh at your dreams, who say you can’t do it, who think you’re wasting your time.

Because they unknowingly do you a favor — they push you. They make you sharper. They make you stronger. Without resistance, there’s no growth. Without people telling you “You can’t,” you might never feel the fire to prove that you can. Every time someone doubts you, it’s an opportunity. Negative people show you who you don't want to become. They remind you why you must stay focused, why you must keep growing, why you must believe in yourself even when nobody else does. And the truth is, sometimes the negativity hurts. Sometimes it makes you question yourself. But if you stay standing, if you keep moving — you come out stronger than ever. You need that friction. You need that contrast. Because when you make it — and you will — the victory feels even sweeter. Not just because you won, but because you know you survived all the noise that was meant to stop you. So don’t waste your energy hating them back. Don't try to convince them. Just stay focused. Stay locked in. Use it. Turn every doubt into drive. Let them fuel your success without even realizing it. At the end of the day, you don't owe anyone proof — you owe yourself growth. And sometimes, it’s the negativity that pushes you to become the person you were always meant to be.
