Greatness Attracts Criticisms

Greatness and Success always attract criticisms just as honey attracts bees! You must learn to feel at home with criticisms - to either ignore it or use the criticism to your advantage. If you can't handle criticisms, slandering, and false accusations, don't aspire for greatness, because the top is full of them; the top is very hot! If you are a man or woman who is on a mission and manifests significant achievements, be sure that you'll be attacked. If you have worthwhile goals and dreams, be sure that you will be criticized and slandered; it's part of the package. If you stand out from the crowd, if you are visible, be sure that you'll be unjustly criticized. So rejoice when you receive criticisms because it means that you are visible, that you are somebody significant. Criticisms signify visibility; the people in the audience notice those on the stage, those who are in the spotlight. People on stage, on the other hand are normally so blinded by the spotlight and busy with their stage demands that they do not notice the critics. The fact of the matter is that if nobody is criticizing you, you are not visible. In life, we're always going to have critics. We'll always have difficult people who try to upset and steal our joy and peace. But you dont have to respond to every critic. You can decide to take the high road and let your results speak for themself. And even if you dont have any results, learn to enjoy your life, however it is. (wdfavour)

Pastor,

A much needed word in season, I think I should send an offering or something for all of these blessings you keep sending my way.

Keep running,

Owens
