If we truly believe in ourselves, who we are, what our purpose is in this world and what we can offer those around us, then there is hardly any measure of criticism or praise that can knock us off our center.
It's only when when a woman or man builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their character begins to take a dive.
To flourish in this world, you really must be able to have thick skin. For no real reason at all the wolves will come out after you and attempt to tear you and your reputation to shreds. In a similar fashion, the people around you will compliment you with hollow praise and try to bring your ego up. If we slip into permitting both of these techniques of the world to outline us, we can quickly end up in a whole world of pain.
The solution?
We have to believe in ourselves. While this is undoubtedly one of the roughest things to do it's also one of the most rewarding lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the problems and praise comes, you continue to can maintain who you are. The temptations of life will attempt to make you change who you are into what the world wants you to be.
Avoid this at all costs. Don't change for those reasons. Instead, change for yourself and who you know you might be in the future. Keep growing and continue to improve your life day in and day out because that's what feels right to you.
Then, when you finally reach the end of the line, you'll always be able to assert that you stayed true to yourself no matter what. To me, that sounds a bit like a pretty happy life.
So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capapble of until you really go for it.
