Everyone is a critic. We choose what we like and what we don’t like every moment of each day.I just recently started posting short video messages on my Instagram and I received a few lukewarm responses to it. At first I was a little disappointed and pondered the idea of maybe not posting any more but then I thought, everyone has the right to express their opinion including me. If I stop now because of a few opinions of others I am basically saying I value their opinion over mine. Learning how to handle criticism is a part of the journey and I will not turn back now. I will and I hope you also stay the course.

For years I stuck to the axiom of “fake it till you make it”, but unless you know what you like and what brings true meaning to your life, you could end up faking it forever. Choose to take time out and discover the true authentic person you are within. Be willing to let go of the old thoughts, ideas and beliefs that have been passed on to you by others. When you discover your true self, you will no longer desire to be a cubic zirconia because know you ARE a natural diamond.
I have learned to enjoy myself at networking events once I focused on making connections rather than making sales. Most of the time, people are not there to buy because each of us have our own agendas in mind. Make the most of the connections and wherever you are, act like you belong there. Make your presence be known. Your energy alone will cause people to take notice.
