If we actually believe in ourselves, who we are, what our purpose is in this world and what we may be able to offer those around us, then hardly any amount of negative feedback or praise that can knock us off our center.
It's only when when a man or woman builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their developed character begins to take a dive.
To thrive in this world, you really must be able to have thick skin. For no reason at all the wolves will come out after you and attempt to tear you and your reputation to shreds. In a similar fashion, people around you'll compliment you with hollow praise and try to bring your ego up. If we slip into admitting both of these seemingly uncontrollable ways of the world to outline us, we can end up in a whole world of pain.
The solution?
We have got to believe in ourselves. While this is one of the toughest things to develop it's also one of the most rewarding lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the difficulties and praise comes, you still 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 days to come. Continue to grow and continue to improve your life day in and day out because that really is what feels right to you.
Then, when you get to the end of the line, you'll always be able to assert that you kept true to yourself no matter what. To me, that sounds like a pretty happy life.
So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capapble of until you really go for it.
