To escape criticism-do nothing, say nothing, be nothing

E. Hubbard said that. If you are going to do anything worthwhile with your life, you need to know right up front that you will have critics. You will have doubters, naysayers, and dream stealers. Friends, family, even spouses who can’t dream as big as you can, could easily make you feel like you are making a bad decision. Hopefully , they will love you enough to support you anyway.

But then, as you actually begin to succeed, a jealous and insecure few will attempt to reduce you through some form of criticism. When people who don’t see what you see put you down or try to make you feel small…consider it a badge of honor. Someone recently said: “When you are being attacked it is because you are over the target.”
