Don't Give Up

We all have our detractors, whether they're people we know personally or are people who leave anonymous comments on social media sites or who leave scathing reviews of books we have written. Though it's much easier to said than done, don't let their harsh words get you down. 

So if someone is trying to cut you down, please remember this:

         "Those who discourage your dreams have likely abandoned their own."
           (This is a well-known quote, but I'm sorry to admit I don't know who to attribute it to.) 

                                                    or

        "The only opinion about your dream that really counts is yours. The negative comments

        of others merely reflect their limitations, not yours." ~ Cynthia Kersey
