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.
It's only when a person begins to build themselves upon the compliments of others or suffers because of their criticisms that things begin to get really shaky. When this starts to happen, the character of the individual is in question because they are trying to appease others instead of truly being themselves.
To live in this world you are going to have a seriously strong will and some thick skin.
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.
When you decide to make a change in your life, do it for yourself. Change because it's something that you've always wanted to do and it matters to you. Don't do it for anyone else. Don't do it because a magazine told you to do it. Do it because it's part of your vision and your purpose.
Because when you do it this way, and you get to the end of your life, you will always be able to say you did it the way you felt was right. That will be a 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.
