" Isn’t it interesting how people we don’t even know feel like they get to decide what we’re capable of accomplishing? Isn’t it even more amazing how often we believe them?
Critics will be at every turn, ready to steal your focus. Ready to get you off track. They’ll tell you that you can’t do what you’re trying to do, that you’re wasting your time, and that you’ll never finish first. But they don’t get to make that choice for you. Only you have the power to do that. "
