If you’re going to do anything great in life, if you’re
going to be a great businessperson, a great teacher, a great parent or a great
leader, not everyone is going to cheer you on. I’d love to tell you that your
family, friends and co-workers will celebrate you, but that’s not the case.
Some people simply can’t handle your success. As you grow
and increase, as God pours out His favor, somebody will get jealous. Somebody
will start finding fault. Don’t be surprised if someone close to you tries to
belittle or discredit you.
If you focus on making everyone around you happy, you’ll
start changing and lose sight of what God has placed in your heart. Friend,
your destiny is too great to be distracted by people who are never going to
affirm you.
Don’t take it personally. It’s oftentimes not even about
you. It’s their problem. Shake it off, run your race, be great anyway.
Greatness in the midst of criticism begins with forgiveness. Don’t hold a
grudge. As you keep doing what is right, God will honor you. He’ll promote you,
and you’ll see the dreams and desires that He placed in your heart come to
pass!
