 People who like you will see that you are trying to be better than you were yesterday and appreciate you for it.

People who hate you will judge you for who you were yesterday.

One troubling thing about humanity is knowing that there will always be those who wish to judge you based on your past mistakes. 

One uplifting thing about humanity is that there are many many more people who are interested in your growth and development. 

Let’s say you overcame alcoholism. 

It’s more rare than not to meet a person who says “once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic. You’ll never change”. 

Most people will congratulate you on overcoming your challenge and wish you well in regards to your future. 

The reason the negative outlier stands out is often because we speak to ourselves the same way. 

We are our own worst critics.

And hearing an outside source validate our secret horrible thoughts about ourselves makes them seem even more true. 

But they’re not. 

Don’t give in to fear and self doubt.

Most people are rooting for you. 

Give yourself permission to root for you too. 
 Deep.  happy tax day 
 🤝🌅So true. 
 You get it brother.

Love yourself. Stop judging.

Take nothing personally.

🧡 
 🤙 
 AMEN! ❤️ 
 I have found that "Most People", don't even know who you are... 
 In a world of constant flux, remember to remain kind. That always helps me remember. 💜🫂 
 Fear is the mind killer.

Don't be afraid to do something, but as a dude, don't be surprised when no-one gives a shit either  looloo. Esp if the "achievement" is remedial vs net positive.  
 Thank you for this reminder that there are more people rooting for our growth and development than those who judge us based on our past. It's important to remember to be kind to ourselves and give ourselves permission to believe in our own potential. Here's to embracing positive change and growth. 🌟 #selflove #growthmindset 
 Rooting for you hodl 🧡 
 Rotting for you bro 
 I will try 
 Almost everyone is nice, honestly how many interactions have any of you had with someone being really nasty lately? People can be off hand but that’s just a little frustration. Outright hate is vanishingly rare. Bullish on humanity! 
 💜 
 You sound like you could have been a client of mine.  Good post! 
 Did you happen to listen to the Aaron Rodgers I can fly podcast ? This was a big part of the conversation Aaron called it the anti-you inside you 
 so very true. respect starts at home. 
enjoyed your recent podcast with Peter MacC too. 
hope you enjoyed the little isle. 
 We need to start punching people who try to lower us, eventually theyll get it 
 Everybody wants to see you do well, just not better than them

Remember that

Stay silent 🤫

 Well said 🙏🏼

 True. Also, apart from the (unfortunately outstanding) negative voices, there will be people who are inspired by somone who is working on being a better human being. 
🧡 
 Right on, thanks for sharing that. 
 It amazes me, how accurate this note is
