Welcome to episode 88. I’m here with Tom Wachowski and Eric Crump to discuss how you can stay positive when all you hear is negativity. I encourage you to view the video I posted in episode 038 of Arnold Schwartzenaeger about not listening to the “naysayers”. It’s very inspiring and is key to our discussion in this episode.
- Negative people are often the loudest.
- Carl’s story about a former fighter pilot working as an airline captain that loves his job.
- Eric relates some of the struggles he had becoming a pilot, and starting the Aviation Program at Polk State.
- Be careful who you share your dreams with. Family and friends can be the most negative, find a mentor with experience doing what you want to do.
- Work on the things you can control, don’t let the things you can’t control draw you down.
- Tom says it is important to distinguish between negativity and reality. Sometimes you need to decide not to do something for a good reason.
- Look for people who positively inspire you to make the best decisions, not just fill you up with sunshine.
- When giving correction and criticism, it is much better to continue to stay positive.
