When we truly believe in ourselves, what we are up to in the world, and what our deep purpose is, there is hardly anything that can knock us off of our course.
But it's when we start to fashion our lives around the opinions of others and their compliments as well that we put ourselves in a very precarious position. The foundation of our life isn't shaky because the opinions of others are often morphing and shifting. And when life does its thing, which it always does, we suffer the consequences of not building a strong foundational character.
In order to live in this world you have to have thick skin at times.
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 to all of this?
Trust. Deep trust in ourselves and who we are.
The journey of building internal belief is one of the greatest challenges there is. There are so many people out there trying to tell you that you can't do it that it becomes very easy to believe that you actually can't. The world is full of people who are always hating on you trying to belittle you in any way possible.
For all of these reasons, it's important that you make changes in your life for yourself and for no other reason. Change because you want something for yourself and you believe in what you're up to. Don't change for any other reason than that.
When you get to the end of your life and you had done it the way your heart told you to do it, that makes for a very very happy moment.
So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capable of until you really go for it.
