“It ain’t that I’m too big to listen to the rumors
It’s just that I’m too damn big to pay attention to ‘em
That’s the difference”
-DR. DRE

Sometimes, you just have to catch yourself.

Listen, it happens to all of us. I’m not going to pretend I never have a negative thought enter my head.

Occasionally I’ll encounter someone incredibly ridiculous, which usually happens after I have a big win. But I stop myself from responding, because I have to remember I’m the one in control here.

Whenever you accomplish something, you’re always going to have some someone who tries to diminish your accomplishment. It is absolutely part of the game, and it’s uncanny how it plays out so predictably, almost as if it’s part of a formula.

It’s the nature of the beast

Go onto Amazon and read the reviews of a bunch of bestsellers. I’m talking books, movies, music… name it. And what you’ll find over and over again is each of these works will get about 5% one star reviews. That means 5% of all reviewers decided to put in enough energy to leave a negative review.
