Don’t Let Them Stop You

July 20, 2012 Kristin 16 Comments

“Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. “ -Aristotle

You have a purpose.

There is work to be done.

You can do it.

There is fun to be had.

You can have it.

There are people to love.

You can love them.

There are quiet moments to enjoy.

You can enjoy them.

There is love to be received.

You can receive it.

There is life worth experiencing.

You can experience it.

No matter what you do, there may always be someone out there who finds fault in you.

The truth is… we all have faults.

The truth is… we can always find a critic.

Are you going to allow those critics or the critic that lives within you, hold you back from living your best life?

Work hard, play hard, take time to rest, pray, and let life in.

When you live with integrity, you can ignore the critic.

    I feel better being alive…..it’s not just the new granddaughter…..it is listening to the positive,
    Thanks for your positive influence, for all of us. I do have a purpose, and I like to remember, I’m lucky to have found it.

      We all do have purpose. Some just have to search a little harder than others to figure it out, even when it may be right in front of them. New granddaughter- that is great! Congrats.

    Great quote Kristin, I look at criticism as chicken with bones, pick through it if there is meat then eat it, and throw away any bones. Sometimes it is just a bag of bones so toss it! Have a great weekend!
