DO NOT GIVE UP: When You Do Not Live Up To Expectation of Others

Aside from blaming you for their inadequacies people will also be quick to let you know when you are not living up their expectations of you.

Do not give up when others bring that nonsense to you. As you are progressing on your own journey and blazing your own trail on the way to developing your self-leadership and growing as a leader, you will start to shift in your view of the world and others. It is at this point that you will become a target for those that you are leaving behind.

Well, technically they are leaving themselves behind when they refuse to grow both personally and professionally.

Most of the time they would rather deflect than to admit to themselves they cannot even meet their own expectations.

Remember, Actions over Words all day, every day!

DO NOT GIVE UP: When Others Blame You For Their Problems

As I have mentioned there are people that will not like you. There will be nothing you can do about that. Accept that fact and life becomes better.
However, there is another deeper side to others NOT liking you. There are people out there that will blame you for their problems. There are people that for no reason than their own ignorance will find a way to blame you for their problems.
People will go out of their way to blame you for their problems. Whatever the problem they are refusing to accept responsibility for their actions and inactions. They refuse to hold themselves accountable but are quick to hold others accountable and swift to lay blame.
You cannot give up when it comes to dealing with that kind of behavior. As a leader, get used to this becoming a standard and not an exception. It is when you set the example of holding yourself accountable and holding those that need to be held accountable accountable that you begin to change yourself, how others see you, interact with you and ultimately, they will change themselves.

DO NOT GIVE UP: When Others Drink The Poison & Expect You To Die

DO NOT GIVE UP: When Others Drink The Poison & Expect You To Die
There are all kinds of human beings out there. Some will like you, some will despise you and others do not give a damn about you. Then there are some that might not even know and already they do not like you. That’s fine, leaders you know you are not here to please everyone all the time.
Thus, it is only a matter of time when you will encounter someone, for a reason known only to them that they will not want you to be a part of their lives and will do what it takes (short of committing a felony) to keep you out. Let them be. Don’t go stirring the hornet’s nest in a vain attempt to find out why they want you gone so bad. 
Sometimes people do not need a reason to do the things they do.
