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 truly be yourself in this world you have to develop some 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.
So what's the solution?
Trust. We must trust in who we are.
While this is undoubtedly one of the toughest things we have to work on it's also one of the most beneficial lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the problems and praise come, can still 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. Don't. Be uniquely you always.
Change for yourself. Change because you want to. Change because it's something that really matters to you and deeply resonates with your purpose in life. If you aren't where you want to be right now then decide to take a leap into the world of personal growth, but never forget to do it for yourself.
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.
