As you strive to achieve greater success and reach for your dreams, it’s inevitable that you will encounter criticism and negativity from those around you. It’s important to manage these haters effectively, using their criticism as fuel for your growth. Read on for five tips to help you manage the haters in your life.
Turn Criticism Into Opportunity
Haters are often scared of their own greatness, having had their magic suppressed through life’s trials and traumas.
Their criticism can be a great opportunity for personal growth and faith in yourself, and should be viewed as an opportunity rather than a hindrance.
Remain Objective
When dealing with haters, take a step back from the situation and observe it from an objective point of view.
Try to remember that it is not about you; it is about them.
Don’t take negative comments personally – simply acknowledge them calmly, thank them for their feedback, then move on and focus on the positive elements of the situation.
Increase Your Resilience
To make sure you are able to handle the trolls and remain resilient, it is important to build up your confidence and self-assurance.
Robin Sharma’s book The Everyday Hero Manifesto offers valuable insights into techniques that have been used by successful people all around the world to build resilience and find happiness.
