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.
There's great danger in being the type of person who thrives on the compliments of others and gets destroyed by their criticisms. When this starts becoming a serious part of your character, disaster is waiting right around the corner. Why? Because when you aren't yourself in this world and you are constantly looking to others for everything you need, you end up losing yourself completely.
To truly be yourself in this world you have to develop some thick skin.
The wolves and the jokers line the landscape of this world. They will either tear you apart or trick you into believing something that's not really there. They will feed upon you or feed you with energy that you do not need. Don't let these two characters trick you into thinking that you can build your own character around them. Because once you do, they will be gone in a heartbeat and you will be left with no foundation.
So what's 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.
When you decide to make a change in your life, do it for yourself. Change because it's something that you've always wanted to do and it matters to you. Don't do it for anyone else. Don't do it because a magazine told you to do it. Do it because it's part of your vision and your purpose.
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.
Believe in yourself. When you really believe in yourself, your entire world could change.
