Why?

self-esteem

Why is it that our self esteem, and how we feel about ourselves, is tied in to the opinions that others have about us? We struggle with criticism, most of the time that is unfairly levied against us.

We must learn to believe in ourselves, and care less what others thing about us. Especially when these critics that spew venom, hide behind keyboards, and really don’t matter in our lives.

Ignore the negative rhetoric. It was a wonderful reminder from a young man today. Particularly powerful as it hit home, when I needed it the most. Time for that glass of wine, and to celebrate those that really matter.
