Opinions can be positive too
It’s wonderful to know that
People are helped or pleased
As you fulfill destiny
Avoid the deceptive lure of popularity
Others can cheer you to great heights of decoration
But nobody can afford to get caught up
In the high opinions of others
People will love you but can
Quickly turn against you
When you’re positioned toward destiny
Don’t get caught in the false lure of popularity
Develop a thick skin even when you’re popular
And don’t believe your own resume
If you don’t it can later be painful to hear
The voices of cruel nonconstructive criticism
You cannot have it both ways
You can’t choose to hear only the voices
Of those who adore you and shut down
The voices of those who don’t
As you make your way to destiny
You will learn much more from
Those who criticize you than those who adore you
I learned much about who I was from my haters
When I came under a fire of criticism
Your destiny doesn’t depend
On the opinions of haters or applauders
They’re all making judgments about your future
Based on your right now and that’s not a complete picture
Only God sees the big picture
