Get good at knowing what to ignore. Don't waste time in engaging conflicts that do not matter. What people say about you does not define who you are. What people have to say do not determine your worth and value. Stop trying to convince people who you are, trying to win over the critics. Accept the fact that some people will NEVER praise you and recognize your gifts and talents, and that's OK! God has already lined up the right people who will celebrate you and help you to fulfill your destiny. Ignore them. Let God fight your battles and the more they talk, the more God will bless you. The key is not to get distracted by the nay-sayers and non-believers. Ask yourself, "Self, (lol) If i get involved in this fight, what is the prize? Will I advance IF I win?" The energy you are using to prove people wrong is energy wasted you could have used to pursue your God given destiny. Nine times out of ten, those same people fear you and are jealous of you. Those people are crows, chickens, hawks and turkeys, but you are an eagle. Eagles sore at altitudes that crows, chickens, hawks and turkeys cannot. Rise above the negativity.
Do not lose focus! Don't lose sleep over someone who is not for you. At the end of the day, you only have to answer to God. Always remember, Jesus had haters! If you're going to be great, there WILL be haters and critics. Take it as a compliment, because it means you are doing something right and making a difference. The higher you go, the more haters will come out of the wood works. The more you're promoted, the more you will have to ignore them.
You will see your life go into a new level of purpose if you LEARN WHAT TO IGNORE! The mark of a true champion is knowing what battles are yours to fight. Let God fight the battles that do not matter!
