Know your inner self

While walking through the streets, you see a dog start barking at you what would you do. Would you bark back or would you just stop and listen to it bark at you. You certainly would not do any of the things aforementioned. Instead you would ignore it and walk away. So, why do you often find yourself listening to the opinions of other people that you know are not true? You cannot stop them from expressing their negative comment towards you but what you can do is not let their comments affect you. While this may sound easier said than done, it is not impossible.

First of all, it is very important for you to know that your achievements are most likely going to annoy a handful of people around you. But people will always express their distaste or dissatisfaction about the work you are doing or about you. There are several reasons why people would do that. One includes them not being able to reach to your level. It is then that people take it upon themselves to be your critiques and try to pinpoint all of your flaws. So, don’t it de-motivate you. Follow your dreams and don’t let anyone stop you from living it. You are not leading your life if you are not having any impact on others. The only way to get over people’s negativity is to be positive and to have faith in you. And if you think what they say has some truth in it then try to analyze it and think about what you’re going to. Bring changes in yourself not because ‘they want you to’ but for yourself and your inner growth.
