Can You Find Greatness in the Midst of Criticism?


If you’re going to do anything great in life, if you’re going to be a great businessperson, a great teacher, a great parent or a great leader, not everyone is going to cheer you on. I’d love to tell you that your family, friends and co-workers will celebrate you, but that’s not the case.

Some people simply can’t handle your success. As you grow and increase, somebody will get jealous. Somebody will start finding fault. Don’t be surprised if a relative/Coworker tries to belittle or discredit you. If you focus on making everyone around you happy, you’ll start changing and lose sight of what is placed in your heart.

Friend, your destiny is too great to be distracted by people who are never going to affirm you. Don’t take it personally. It’s not about you. It’s their problem. Shake it off, run your race, be great anyway.

Greatness in the midst of criticism begins with forgiveness. Don’t hold a grudge. Bless those who curse you; pray for those who spitefully use you. As you keep doing what is right, you will be honored, and you’ll see the dreams and desires that is placed in your heart come to pass!
