The forgotten Art of Happiness Quotes

“There will be three types of people who will show up when you start to do something you love or when you create something new. The first type is the person who tries to shame you. This person will tell you that you are not enough and, when you start to feel confident, they will make you question yourself. The second type is the person who will make you feel small, who will tell you that you are too late, that there are so many other people who are doing it better than you or that what you are doing has no impact. The third type is the person who will compare you to others, telling you about how trained, qualified, or talented they are. Knowing and accepting that these three types of people will show up will make you feel secure and confident when dealing with them. Next time they try to tell you what you should do, remind yourself to respect them but not to listen to them. You have to be careful because these types of people could be the closest people to you; they could even turn out to be you.”
