Developing Iron Belief

By Evan Sanders


If we truly believe in ourselves, who we are, what our purpose is in this world and what we are able to offer those around us, then hardly any measure of feedback or praise that can knock us off our center.

It's just when person builds himself on the compliments or criticisms of others that their character begins to take a dive.

To thrive in this world, you must be able to have thick skin. For no real reason at all the wolves will come out after you and attempt to tear you and your reputation to shreds. In a similar fashion, the people around you will compliment you with hollow praise and try and bring your ego up. If we slip into admitting both these ways of the world to outline us, we will certainly quickly end up in an entire world of suffering.

The solution?

We need to trust in ourselves. While this is undoubtedly one of the hardest things we have to create it's also one of the most worthwhile lessons you can ever learn in life. No matter what, when the problems and praise comes, you can still can maintain who you are. The temptations of life will try to make you change who you are into what the world would like you to be.

Avoid this at all costs. Don't change for those reasons. Instead, change for yourself and who you know you could be in the future. Keep growing and continue to improve your life day in and day out because that is what feels right to you.

Then, when you finally reach the end of the line, you'll always be able to assert that you remained constant to yourself no matter what. To me, that sounds a bit like a pretty happy life.

So start believing in yourself. You never know what you are capapble of until you really go for it.
