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 only when when person builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their personality begins to take a dive.
To thrive in this world, you actually must be able to have thick skin. For no reason at all the wolves will come out after you and try to tear you and your reputation to shreds. Likewise, people around you will compliment you with hollow praise and attempt to bring your ego up. If we slide into permitting both of these seemingly uncontrollable tactics of the world to create us, we will end up in a whole world of suffering.
The solution?
We need to believe in ourselves. While this is undoubtedly one of the hardest things to do it's also one of the most rewarding lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the problems and praise comes, you can still can maintain who you are. The enticements of life will attempt 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 improve your life day in and day out because that's what feels right to you.
Then, when you get to the end of the line, you'll always be able to claim that you kept true to yourself no matter what. 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.
