TPP #17: How to Deal With Haters

Success seems like the ultimate goal. But it’s important to know that success is going to come with your fair share of critics. There are people who are going to look down on you, make excuses for your success, and be jealous and opinionated.

 

Those opinions do not define who you are. It’s important to keep in mind the thoughts you think about others around you and your thoughts about what they think about you. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter as much as you think.

Sometimes you can use constructive criticism to better yourself. Look to those who genuinely love you and know you to help encourage you to be the best version of you. Always remember that mischaracterization doesn’t prove who you are. You can choose how to react to what people have to save about you.

    A few years ago I watched a documentary about Mr. Rogers. In the end, it briefly mentioned the were protesters at his funeral. I thought to myself, if a man that was so positive, genuine, wholesome, and sincere, who made it his life’s work to help children could have haters, than any of us can. In my opinion, how these protesters viewed Mr. Rogers had nothing to do with who he was and what he stood for. People can misperceive us, or judge us because of their own internal struggles, biases, or issues. In a funny way, it was rather freeing for me, because if Mr. Rogers has people speak out against him, then all of us should expect criticism and not take it personally. Thanks for the podcast and sharing so openly!
