The best way to avoid falling prey to the opinions of others is to realize that other people's opinions are just that - opinions. Regardless of how great or terrible they think you are, that's only their opinion. Your true self-worth comes from within.

I think the hardest thing to overcome is judging yourself and being your own worst critic so to speak.

Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.

If you're not careful, you can fall into a destructive cycle of self-pity.

Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that's all that matters.

My motto is never to hold on to anything. I accept and then let go: not just the negatives, but the praise, too. Or it'll get to my head.

I just try to get out of my own way because if anyone is their own worst enemy, it's usually you.

I am not racked with self-loathing. Some issues of guilt and shame, but I'm a pretty good guy.

Being self-critical is good; being self-hating is destructive. There's a very fine line there somewhere, and I walk it carefully.
