It feels like such a blow when people point out our flaws. You can’t make everyone happy, and you can’t do everything right. Messing up feels so much like failure. Truth is not everyone is going to like us. The criticism can leave us feeling like it would be so much easier to not go after our dreams, not put ourselves out there. It feels safe to stay hidden.
Can’t make any mistakes when we are not taking risks. People can’t be critical if they can’t see us fail. The truth is, it would be so sad if we didn’t take risks. It would be devastating if we squelched our potential to avoid criticism. There is a plan and purpose that comes with each of our lives. Other people don’t get to determine if we should or should not do what we are called to. It’s not our job to make everyone happy. That’s impossible. Go shine bright, you were made for more.
Don’t let someone dim your light, simply because it’s shinning.
