This is such great advice, because trying to please everyone will literally make you ill. I learned this tough lesson a long time ago & have been happier since. One person's critical words doesn't define you. As hurtful as those words can be (& class should always come into the picture), sometimes it does make you evaluate anything that needs to be tweaked. Also, as you said, you can be proud because you are active & MAKING those dreams happen; not sitting on the sidelines wishing for it.

I encourage people in my path to always be their authentic selves. There is no one else in the world exactly like us & we each have something to bring to the table. Thank you for the reminder. You got this! Keep on dreaming & steeming :)
