Don’t surround yourself with people who stop you, or try to slow you down. You’ll do that enough yourself.
Don’t allow yourself to be invested in people who don’t think you can do what you need to do. You’ll have enough doubts on your own.
Don’t put your energy into trying to please people who only criticize, ridicule, or condemn. Your feelings of being an imposter will look after that.
There will always be the haters, the doubters, and the critics… and you will probably be the the very biggest one of them all.
But there is a whole pile of people who want to see you rise, who want you to succeed, and who will pick you up when you fall down.
Lean on those people.
When things get hard, and you might not be your best self, these people will help you get through it.
You need them in your corner. Seek them out.
You can’t do hard things all on your own.
