"Beyoncé doesn't spend time reading feedback from trolls before she lights a stage on fire". This was feedback I gave a teenage client a few years ago.
She was an intelligent young woman who was contemplating giving up an opportunity to do morning announcements all because she was dwelling on what the "mean girls" would think.
At her school, morning announcements were given to well-rounded students selected by their teachers and school administrators.
My client was selected on her merit. She worked hard for that opportunity, but almost gave it up until I challenged her to see that her focus on her haters would take her off her A game.
Dwelling on what others think, especially haters, takes us away from being our best selves. If you find yourself focused on what people not in your corner are thinking, STOP.
You're doing yourself a disservice.
You simply can't produce great work or accomplish goals dwelling on negativity.
As DJ Khaled would say, "The person who wants to distract you from your studies or your career with their drama? That's a “they".
Train your mind to stay away from "they".
