Staying Positive [ miniseries lesson book ]

lesson one: kill the critic

lesson one: kill the critic
•••

in order to be happy in life, you must eliminate the critics outside, and the critic inside. in literal non-literal terms, kill the critic.

the critics outside do not matter. do not listen to them, because they do not matter. for example, if you love a certain type of music and someone tells you it's weird, don't pay attention to them. don't allow their negativity to play a role in your life, because they do not matter and damnit you're amazing the way you are, okay?

do what you feel in your heart to be right, because you'll be criticized either way. doing what you think is right matters the most, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. don't let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.

eliminating the critic inside is a huge part in staying positive. the critic inside hurts you and others around you. be an encourager. and remember to encourage yourself as well as others.

i'm going to end this first lesson with a pair of quotes.

"never let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. prove the critics wrong. pity them for they have no imagination. the sky is the limit. your sky. your limit." - tom hiddleston (god i love him)

"be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - dr. suess
