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.
There's great danger in being the type of person who thrives on the compliments of others and gets destroyed by their criticisms. When this starts becoming a serious part of your character, disaster is waiting right around the corner. Why? Because when you aren't yourself in this world and you are constantly looking to others for everything you need, you end up losing yourself completely.
To truly be yourself in this world you have to develop some thick skin.
In this world, the wolves are constantly looking for people to tear apart and ruin their lives. This is just an inevitable reality of living. It's part of the game. Similarly, there are going to be people who will surround you and say anything to get a quick buck from you. If we fall into letting both of these scenarios build our characters we get into deep trouble.
The solution?
Trust. Deep trust. We must trust in ourselves and who we are.
Believing in yourself is one of the hardest things to do in this world. There are so many things and people telling us to be someone else that it becomes really hard to listen to that inner voice telling us where to go and what to do. But if you can believe in yourself, you begin heading down a path that can change your entire life. You will be faced with large temptations, but with some iron will and belief you can blast straight through them.
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.
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.
