If we really believe in ourselves, who we are, what our purpose is in this world and what we are able to offer those around us, then barely any quantity of negative feedback or praise that can knock us off our center.
It's just when a man or woman builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their character begins to take a dive.
To prosper in this world, you actually need to have thick skin. For absolutely no reason at all the wolves will come out after you and try and tear you and your reputation to shreds. Similarly, folks around you will compliment you with hollow praise and try and bring your ego up. If we slip into admitting both of these techniques of the world to create us, we will certainly end up in a world of suffering.
The solution?
We need to trust in ourselves. While this is proving to be one of the roughest things to develop it's also one of the most beneficial lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the difficulties and praise comes, you can still can maintain who you are. The temptations of life will try 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 might be in the future. Keep growing and continue to enhance your life day in and day out because that's what feels right to you.
Then, when you finally reach the end of the line, you'll always be able to claim that you kept true to yourself regardless of everything else. To me, that sounds a bit like a pretty happy life.
So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capapble of until you really go for it.
