If we truly 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 barely any amount of negative feedback or praise that can knock us off our center.
It's only when when person builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their character begins to take a dive.
To prosper in this world, you actually have to have thick skin. For no real reason at all the wolves will come out after you and try and tear you and your reputation to shreds. Likewise, folks around you'll compliment you with hollow praise and try to bring your ego up. If we fall into permitting both of these seemingly uncontrollable techniques of the world to outline us, we will certainly quickly end up in an entire world of hurt.
The solution?
We have got to trust in ourselves. While this is proving to be one of the hardest things to do it's also one of the most beneficial lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the challenges and praise comes, you can still can maintain who you are. The grand temptations of life will make attempts to make you change who you are into what the world would like you to be.
Avoid this at all costs. Don't change for those reasons. Instead, change for yourself and who you know you could be in days to come. Continue to grow and continue to enhance your life day in and day out because that really is what feels right to you.
Then, when you reach the end of the line, you'll always be able to assert that you remained constant to yourself regardless of anything that challenged you. 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.
