“To allow a critic to diminish one’s self-confidence is to say that their un-constructive criticism is accurate. We’ve all made mistakes, but we’re still here. You’ve seen some things, been in some battles and endured conflict. You are a survivor — you can still achieve your goal. Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment based on what you are feeling and thinking. That is what’s real.” —Doc Childre
