Coming back to our title, criticism is not always constructive. As they say, small minds are too small to understand big spirits so being misunderstood, mocked and hated is natural. The fact is when you’re growing in life, there is a line of people behind you to criticise you, pull you down and make you full of negativity. Sometimes, as in the times of covid-19, when things are not in our favour, certain people are there to fill our lives with more negativity. Frankly, they have no purpose for life other than mocking you and criticising you. And believe me, their opinion does not matter as well but still they want to interfere in everything.
It's really hard to deal with such people. But that’s life. It shows us things that we never want to see (good or bad depends). However, it is extremely critical to not lose to that destructive criticism you're experiencing. It's true that criticism should be a way to improve but do not let that criticism get too high on your nerves that you end up losing.
We can’t lose to this destructive criticism. It will be there until we will be surrounded by small-minded people who have no purpose and no vision at all.
So, here I talk about certain steps that I take to get rid of the destructive criticism.
Work hard, their stupid criticism isn’t going to pay your bills
Be focussed and keep your mind intact
Self-love, treat yourself often to stay motivated and confident
Pray, pray and pray (God is the saviour)
Stay productive (this should not be only money-making, focus on learning new things)
Explore good side of life
Be honest, transparent and committed to your goals
Talk to your constants (people who you connect to)
Eventually, it is you and your hard work that will pay you off one day. It’s not the destructive criticism which is going to lead you anywhere. So, it's rightly said, small-minded people say and then again say because their minds are too little to think beyond it. We do not have to match their small-mindedness and feel bad.
Rise above the small-minded people and let their opinions do not matter to you.
Let’s keep growing and focusing on the good in the world!
