"There is only one way to avoid criticism:
do nothing,
say nothing,
and be nothing."
-Aristotle
I recently came across the above quote on Doreen Virtue's Facebook page. Doreen Virtue is pretty much one of my favorite people, even though I've yet to meet her! I love all of her work. She's the "angel lady" who teaches about how accessible the angel realm is, and I have learned SO much from her. I don't think a single day goes by when I don't talk to either Arc Angel Micheal or Raphael. It is so comforting to know that angels are ALWAYS available to help us, and it really gives them great joy to do so. I learned a lot about the Arc Angels when I listened to Arc Angels 101, a 6 CD set by Doreen...highly recommend it! I have had way to many angel experiences to list here, but it can suffice to say that the angels have saved my life many times as a result of my sincere prayer and gratitude to them.
But the reason I posted this quote is because it's like a little push saying, "Go on, do it! Don't be scared!" So many times we don't go after our true dreams in life because we're subconsciously afraid of what might happen if we go against the grain. Aristotle reminds us that living a life to avoid judgement and criticism is not really a life at all. Doing something bold and daring will undoubtedly bring judgements, but that is not going to hinder you as long as you remind focused on your goal.
