Those who don’t have critics probably aren’t doing anything.
Or worse yet, they are the critics.

You question yourself constantly.
You know you dont want that.
Youve got more critics than friends.
People do not criticize those who they feel superior to.
you’re able to see that the superiority is a front.
If someone is criticizing you, you know it is because you have something that they want.
This is not some nice sentiment to make you feel better, this is a fact.
Thats how you know if you have critics, you are doing something right.
Those who dont have critics probably arent doing anything.
Or worse yet, theyarethe critics.
You dont want the same things you used to.
Acknowledging that you no longer want something is a powerful thing.
We outgrow people, places, and things all the time.
You have grown to understand that the discomfort in change is temporary, but regret can last a lifetime.
You say no all the time.
You dont want to cut yourself off from life completely.
Those who yes to every social engagement probably are not benefiting in the long run.
You understand that you do not owe anyone anything.
Any person you deem worth keeping around for the long haul understands this and supports you.
You recognize when things arent meant for you.
The wonderful thing about taking everything personally for years is that eventually you get tired of it.
You realize that it isnt only unrealistic, it is detrimental to your mental health and well-being.
You understand this, and have done what once seemed impossible.
You have changed your categories from good and bad to for me and not for me.
Not bad, just not for me.
That rejection from that job?
Just wasnt meant for me.
You know you are imperfect.
There is nothing that feels better than letting yourself be the flawed human being that you are.
You find your power in tackling your weaknesses rather than showcasing your strengths.
You know that anyone can showcase their strengths (just open Instagram).
