If you are trying your hardest to be the best person you can be, you have to mentally shut down the haters. They are always going to be there, and they come in all shapes and sizes, in every role possible, from sibling and parent to colleague, classmate or neighbor. Some of them don’t even know you at all, but they judge you from afar. Don’t allow their negative energy to rock your world.

Show the world just how fierce you are! This isn’t to say you should be narcissistic or rude. Nobody has time for that kind of drama. But believe in yourself and be proud of who you are. When you can do that, it marks the beginning of a new chapter, a new life, free of secrets and full of promise. Revel in it and be who you need to be to live your authentic life.
Those shocked by your revelation will most likely catch up, realize their mistake and come back to you. People are drawn to confidence and positive energy. Shine your light bright. Don’t hide it. Hold it up like a torch and guide their way with it.
And if they don’t come back, realize your strength and just how courageous you are. Their refusal to accept you, who you are and the wonderful light of your being is on them. They will not conquer you. You will overcome this hurdle, this hurt. Live your life as only you can. When you do that, it makes every day from now on more meaningful and every goal more obtainable.
You’ve got this.
