It has always been the tactic of our social enemies to make us feel we are not enough and do not have enough.
There are some well-meaning friends, coaches and teachers that encourage us to live up to our potential, and that is different. But for social enemies who operate from jealousy and insecurity, this is how they can feel superior over us. Anyone that tried to do that is not your friend and does not want the best for you.
Treat them as irrelevant, because to you, they are.
Great reminder of what voices are important in our lives.
“I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down.”
-Abraham Lincoln
This is also a great self-reflection statement, make sure your actions are not driven by jealousy and insecurity. You too, can become irrelevant.
