Thanks a lot for this reply, Vinay :-) I am happy I asked this only to get to know about such motivating thoughts.

I have felt similarly many times as you mentioned – “Just the thought that someone else is judging me makes me very conscious and uncomfortable.”

I like the way you said to deal with such situations with your confident approach.

Yes, I feel the same, if we tie ourselves to the goal firmly, no criticism can shake us.

Had a positive time talking to you! Thank you , Vinay :-)

Hi Sindhu, that is a very valid question. It is a thought that has constantly baffled me. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be discouraging words, just the thought that someone else is judging me makes me very conscious and uncomfortable.

The solution that works best for me is a constant reassuring thought that – “I know why I am doing this. It is a work in process, I know where I want to get to and I am here to make mistakes”

People who offer discouraging words are offering it to the ‘Present Us’ and not what we are going to be. So, their words in a way lose validity sometimes and gives me a bit of peace. And some other times, a good fight is not a bad thing at all to keep some people in their place and not let them trample all over us.

It is indeed a tough one I think, but I guess – the priority is yourself and what you are willing to do to get to the goal you want to. The rest I suppose works itself around.

Sometimes, we take the things in a healthy way. What about the unhelpful thought that comes due to someone’s discouraging words? What are your thoughts on this?
