If we truly believe in ourselves, who we are, what our purpose is in this world and what we may be able to offer those around us, then hardly any amount of feedback or praise that can knock us off our center.
It's only when a man or woman builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their personality begins to take a dive.
To flourish in this world, you actually need to have thick skin. For no reason at all the wolves will come out after you and try and tear you and your reputation to shreds. Likewise, folks around you'll compliment you with hollow praise and try to bring your ego up. If we slide into admitting both of these tactics of the world to create us, we will get caught up in a world of suffering.
The solution?
We have to trust in ourselves. While this is one of the toughest 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 still can maintain who you are. The grand temptations of life will attempt to make you change who you are into what the world wants you to be.
Avoid this at all costs. Don't change for those reasons. Instead, change for yourself and who you know you could be in the future. Always grow and continue to build upon your life day in and day out because that's what feels right to you.
Then, when you reach the end of the line, you'll always be able to assert that you kept true to yourself no matter what. To me, that sounds like a pretty happy life.
So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capapble of until you really go for it.
