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.
Imminent disaster is only apparent when a woman or man builds himself on the compliments or falls on the criticisms of others. When this happens, their character is created by the thoughts and opinions of those around them instead of deep belief and will.
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.
So what's 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.
Because if you change for yourself and were the captain of your own ship, there's nothing to regret at the end of your life. If you stay true to yourself and who you are, you could always keep your head held high.
So believe in yourself enough to change, and when you do, do it for yourself.
