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 to fashion our lives around the opinions of others and their compliments as well that we put ourselves in a very precarious position. The foundation of our life isn't shaky because the opinions of others are often morphing and shifting. And when life does its thing, which it always does, we suffer the consequences of not building a strong foundational character.
If you want to be yourself in this world you also have to have 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?
Developing an iron will and a significant amount of trust.
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.
For all of these reasons, it's important that you make changes in your life for yourself and for no other reason. Change because you want something for yourself and you believe in what you're up to. Don't change for any other reason than that.
Then, when you get to the end of the line, you'll always be able to claim that you kept true to yourself no matter what. To me, that sounds like a pretty happy life.
So believe in yourself enough to go for your dreams and goals. You are capable of anything if you listen to your heart.
