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.
If you want to be yourself in this world you also have to have some thick skin.
It seems like a lot of people in this world are always trying to tear other people down. Instead of saying something uplifting, they say something negative and try to bring people down to their level. Why? Because when other people are more successful than them it makes them look horribly bad.
So what's the solution?
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.
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 like a pretty happy life.
So go after what you believe in and do it for yourself. You are more capable than you could ever imagine.
