It's so easy to see and feel those negative feelings - that we too quickly let them define who we are - at least in our own minds. But those critical feelings are probably not true at all. They have nothing to do with the reality of who you are.
And they don't define all of who you are - because you know in your heart who and how you really are:
- you know that those who have criticized you in the past haven't really known you;
- they haven't really listened to you
- and they haven't worked to really understand you.
You are unique - there isn't anyone who can think, feel or do what you're able to do - in exactly the way you can. No one can replace you - so don't let those negative emotional messages from others define or describe who you know you really are!
Don't let those criticisms pull you down and don't accept less than what you deserve - for yourself and for your relationships; don't accept anyone who cannot feel honored to be a part of your life.
