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.
It's only when a person begins to build themselves upon the compliments of others or suffers because of their criticisms that things begin to get really shaky. When this starts to happen, the character of the individual is in question because they are trying to appease others instead of truly being themselves.
To thrive in this world, you have to have 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?
We have got to trust in ourselves.
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.
Don't change because other people told you to. Change because something deep inside of you is calling you to it. Change for yourself and who you know you could be in the future. Continue to grow and continue to enhance your life day in and day out because that's what feels right to you.
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.
