Painting your own Picture

Carlin Isles US Olympian Rugby Player has placed a chart in his home where he recorded all the comments made to him telling him why he would never be successful.

The statements on the chart included:

He will never be a world Class Player

He’s too small

He won’t make it

He’s not good enough

Carlin was never suppose to succeed

Carlin life from early childhood including foster care appeared to be headed for early and long term failure. What Carlin has accomplished as a lighting fast Rugby player as a member of the US Rugby team is short of a miracle.

What’s your Plan for overcoming the Doubtersand the  Naysayers?

He titled all the negative comments with three words across the chart where he posted the words

 God- Motivation- Faith and proceeded to post another chart where he would find a successful quote to counteract the negative statement

Quotes on the new chart included

No Matter what you see, see past what the eye can see!

It’s easy to run from the pain but a man will face the pain head on!

If I quit they Win!

Winners never quit and quitters never win!

He commented I’m painting a picture of myself and am not going to let anyone put their paint or brush on my picture. If they do it would be their’s.
