When we finally start to believe in ourselves, what we are capable of, and who we are as people down to our core we develop this iron belief that allows us to stay true in a sea of criticism.
Imminent disaster is only apparent when a woman or man builds himself on the compliments or falls on the criticisms of others. When this happens, their character is created by the thoughts and opinions of those around them instead of deep belief and will.
To thrive in this world, you have to have thick skin.
For no real reason at all the wolves will come out after you and attempt to tear you and your reputation to shreds. Similarly, the people around you may compliment you with hollow praise and attempt to bring your ego up. If we fall into allowing both these tactics to define us, we can quickly end up in a world of hurt.
The solution?
We have got to trust in ourselves.
Believing in yourself is one of the hardest things to do in this world. There are so many things and people telling us to be someone else that it becomes really hard to listen to that inner voice telling us where to go and what to do. But if you can believe in yourself, you begin heading down a path that can change your entire life. You will be faced with large temptations, but with some iron will and belief you can blast straight through them.
Don't change because other people told you to. Change because something deep inside of you is calling you to it. Change for yourself and who you know you could be in the future. Continue to grow and continue to enhance 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 like a pretty happy life.
So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capable of until you really go for it.
