THE GO4IT WEEKLY - ISSUE #21

THIS WEEK’S WORD

Jalen was on fire. He finally launched his dream,
a creative coaching brand that blended faith, motivation,
and strategy. The first week, his posts took off.
People loved his message.
But then, slowly, the comments came.

Who do you think you are?
Another coach? That space is already crowded.
You are doing too much.

At first, every comment felt personal like a dart to his confidence.
He questioned his vision, overanalyzed his words,
and started second-guessing his calling.
The criticism echoed louder than the compliments.

One late night, scrolling through messages he should not have read twice,
Jalen remembered his grandmother’s voice:

If they’re talking, it means you are doing something
worth talking about.

Something clicked.
He realized criticism wasn’t confirmation of failure,
it was confirmation of movement.
He stopped fearing feedback and started filtering it.
Not every opinion deserved a seat in his mind.
If the comment didn’t align with his calling, it did not define him.

Jalen did not harden his heart, he strengthened it.
He learned that staying true does not mean ignoring feedback.
It means discerning truth from noise.

Main Lesson

Criticism is not confirmation of failure; it’s often proof of progress.
Growth requires learning how to filter feedback, not fear it.
Every voice that speaks to you does not deserve authority over you.
When you know your calling, you stop letting comments control your confidence.
True maturity is not about becoming unbothered it’s about becoming unshaken.

Key Takeaway

Don’t let opinions distract you from obedience.
Use criticism as clarity fuel take what refines,
release what restrains.
Stay teachable but stay true.
Because when your identity is rooted in purpose,
no comment can uproot your peace.


GO4IT LIFE PILLARS 

Build Mental + Emotional Toughness

Jalen realized that the gym wasn’t just about building muscles,
it was his training ground for resilience. Every rep whispered:
You can handle pressure. When critics hit hard, his workouts
became his reminder that strength grows under resistance.

Your GO4IT Move

•  Use exercise as emotional training.
  When it burns, push through and repeat this phrase:
  “I’m stronger than I think.”

• When someone doubts you, channel that energy into progress.
  
   Remember: You’re not just building your body you are conditioning your mind.

Learn, Don’t Lose

When a client criticized Jalen’s pricing, he felt exposed.
But instead of shrinking his value, he studied his worth.
He began tracking results, improving his offers,
and adding clarity to his services. Criticism, he realized,
was just feedback in disguise.

Your GO4IT Move

•  Review one financial setback this week and ask:
  “What did this teach me?”

• Create a “Lesson Ledger” write every tough money moment
  and the wisdom it gave you.

• Refuse to turn shame into silence; turn it into strategy.

Stay Rooted in Love

Criticism can creep into family too.
When Jalen’s relatives didn’t understand his path,
he felt misunderstood. Instead of defending,
he decided to demonstrate. Love didn’t mean explaining
it meant enduring with grace.

Your GO4IT Move

• This week, thank someone who “means well”
  but does not quite get it.

• Choose compassion over competition.
  
   Remember: You can’t win hearts by fighting opinions.

Choose Voices That Lift You

Not every voice deserves volume in your life.
Jalen made a new rule: only take advice
from those who were also building something.
The rest? Muted.

Your GO4IT Move

•  Create your “Champion Circle”
   3 people who stretch your faith, not your fear.

• Ask yourself: “Would I trade places with this person?”
  If not, don’t take their advice personally.

• Protect your peace like it’s part of your purpose.

Filter to Focus

Every comment, every opinion they are just data.
What matters is what you do with it.
Jalen learned to filter feedback through purpose.
It refined his focus, sharpened his boundaries, and freed his time.

Your GO4IT Move

•  When faced with feedback, ask:

  • Is it true?

  • Is it kind?

  • Is it useful?
    Keep what builds you. Release what breaks you.

Let God Have the Final Word

Jalen realized even Jesus faced critics yet never strayed from His mission.
The Pharisees mocked. The crowds misunderstood.
But the cross proved that obedience always outweighs opinion.

Your GO4IT Move

•  Write one area where criticism has shaken you.

• Pray this prayer: God, help me hear You louder than I hear them.

• Declare this truth: My purpose does not need permission.

COACH TYUS NOTE

Let’s be real criticism stings. Especially when it comes from people
you thought would support you.
But growth does not come from applause; it comes from refinement.

Every dreamer will face doubters.
Every leader will face opinions.
But the secret to lasting purpose?
You must learn to be both teachable and unshakable.

There’s a difference between correction and condemnation.
One builds. The other breaks. Learn to tell the difference
and you will walk in peace while still walking in power.

Remember: if no one is criticizing you, you are probably not doing
anything that matters.
So, if it’s loud around you this week… smile.
You are making moves.

Stay focused. Stay ready. Move forward.

GO4IT CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK

Write down the last 3 pieces of criticism you received.

For each one, ask:
1. Is this truth or opinion?
2. Can it help me grow?
3. What would God say about it?

Keep what sharpens you.
Release what distracts you.
And remember, critics don’t create legacies.
Builders do.
