If we actually believe in ourselves, who we are, what our purpose is in this world and what we can offer those around us, then hardly any quantity of criticism can knock us off our center.
But it's when we start creating the foundation of our character built upon the thoughts and opinions of others that we truly get into trouble. When this happens, and life does its thing by changing and shifting, everything comes crashing down because we have no solid base.
In order to live in this world you have to have thick skin at times.
People on the outside are always looking to tear others down. It's much easier to say something negative than it is to say something positive. Also, people don't like seeing others succeed and become great at what they do. They hate it because it shines a light on their failures in life and the fact that they never made it to where they wanted to go.
So what's the solution to all of this?
We have got to trust in ourselves.
To believe in yourself in this world is to take one of the greatest challenges there is. The reason for that is there are so many reasons, people, and voices telling you to be something besides what you are. All of those things are incredibly hard to fight off. But when you can listen to that inner voice telling you which direction to go, you really give yourself a chance to live your best life.
And for all of these reasons, make sure that you make changes for yourself. Change because you want to change. That's the only way any of it will be sustainable. But don't change because you heard from someone else that it may be a good idea or because you're awful. Listen to your heart. It will know the truth.
When you get to the end of your life and you had done it the way your heart told you to do it, that makes for a very very happy moment.
So believe in yourself enough to go for your dreams and goals. You are capable of anything if you listen to your heart.
