I like that you are authentic and stepping up to things that scare you. That's huge! We all know there will always be negative comments. And how human of us to dismiss all the great things people said. Instead we focus on that one negative comment. How we perceive their comments is the reality. What is the gift?

Their comment is their opinion, not yours, but instead we choose to accept it as a negative, judge it, run it over a few times and beat ourselves up with it, when in fact what they said is merely a reflection of themselves.

"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one!"
