David J. Bryan

People may doubt you. People may say negative things about you. Some people just don't like you. Though you may try, you can't control what others think, feel and say about you. Does it sting when it happens? It does for me. But while others may not sing my praises, that doesn't mean I need to join them. I don't have to take their negative sentiments to heart, ruminating and dwelling on them until they become part of my internal dialogue. I can't control what they say, but I can choose what I say about myself. Haters gonna hate but I don't have to be one of them.
