No matter what, there will always be this hum you'll hear from the stands. However no matter the hum going on, we must focus on the field of life.
Take competitive sports for example. In this case, baseball in particular.
There's this moment when you're on the mound pitching where the sounds the other team is making, the fans in the stands and everything else in the stadium around you silences. It's just you and the catchers mitt. Everything slows down and the space between you and the plate really appears to shrink. You get this type of tunnel vision and when you realize you are in that moment, you are close to unstoppable as it gets. Your body is in complete flow with your pitch by pitch mechanics and your motion becomes quite natural.
But there are so many moments when you walk a couple of their players, somebody gets a hit, somebody makes a mistake, and the game starts to rapidly speed up on you. When that happens, boy are you able to hear all of the really distractions around you. You can hear the other team yelling, you can hear the hum of the people in the stands and throwing a strike becomes incredibly tough.
How will we silence the noise feedback in life?
How will we move past the fear of failing - the dread of success and not having the ability to handle it - the fear of being misinterpreted for something we aren't? How can we be less frightened of losing everything we have produced? The hard part is, the bigger the risk you take the greater the questions become surrounding it. What can we do to go forward?
We should understand that this is a component of the game.
Balls, strikes, home runs, errors, over throws, passed balls, wild pitches, strikeouts, walks, that is all just a part of the game. It's not about having an ideal game every day. You really can not do that. Pitching is about grooving when you have it and facing grief when you have nothing at all. There are so very many times you go out there and 2 of your pitches are not even close to working well in any way. What on earth do you do when that occurs?! Target the fact that you presently don't have your changeup and curve, start hitting the zone with your best fastball - one that has each and every last ounce of conviction behind it. Of course you try to keep throwing the other pitches because you wish to find them during the game, but you cannot bring yourself into a negative space or else you're not be making it out of the first inning.
The hum of the crowd is always going to be there and it can even get vicious on occasion. But it's far better to be playing the game than sitting on the bench. It's better to essentially be in a spot facing criticism than to not be playing at all.
And here's the closer. If you can get to a mindset where you not only can tune out the negative things that people say, but also use that as fuel...you will launch yourself further than you ever could have imagined. Use something negative and fashion a positive result with it. Maybe that is the best form of alchemy itself?
So get back to that place where you can focus deeply on your mission and your purpose. There will always be opinions about what you're doing, but in the end, you really do have to litsen to what's within you.
