Here are my favorite quotes that help me to remember to appreciate my critics and haters:
 

“I am thankful for all of those who said, ‘no’, to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.”
~Albert Einstein
 

“Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you’re knocked down, get right back up. And never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.”
~Hillary Clinton
 

“You will face your greatest opposition when you are closest to your biggest miracle.”
~Shannon L. Alder
 

“Be so good they can’t ignore you.”
~Steve Martin
 

“Haters don’t really hate you. They hate themselves, because you’re a reflection of what they wish to be.”
~Unknown

“There always will be lots of skeptics when you want to start something new. Everybody will tell you why it’s a bad idea, why you shouldn’t do it, why you’ll lose everything you’ve got. In the end you’ve just to go out and try to prove them wrong.” ~Richard Branson

7. Use them to push you to something greater.

“As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better.”
~Steve Maraboli
 

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!”
~Rocky Balboa

“You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.”
~From movie, Pursuit of Happiness

“Everybody is always going to have haters. It comes with the job. You have to have a tough skin and not let it affect you.”
~Dana Brunetti

“No matter what happens, you’re always going to have those critics and those haters. You just have to learn how to deal with that. I think I have and accept that.”
~Tim Tebow

“Haters never win. I just think that’s true about life, because negative energy always costs in the end.”
~Tom Hiddleston

“You will find it will almost always be more comfortable to sit on the sidelines and critique the builders from afar. But at the end of the day, the people who make a difference, the people who shape history, are not the haters.”
~Wendy Kopp
 

“If you have no critics, you’ll likely have no success.”
~Malcolm X

“I don’t focus on the critics. Everyone who is making any difference in any field has critics. As long as I feel like I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing, then I don’t worry about it.”
~Joel Osteen

“People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.”
~George Bernard Shaw

“It’s your right to listen to your gut, it ain’t nobody’s right to say no after you earned the right to be what you wanna be and do what you wanna do.”
~Rocky Balboa

18. Use them as stepping stones.

“Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”
~Dale Carnegie

19. Use them to transform you for the better.

“In spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser and happier as a result.”
~Joseph B. Wirthlin
 
 

20. Use them to rise above your challenges.

“In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.”
~Vincent Van Gogh
 
 

21. Use them to create your own sunshine.

“The most essential factor is persistence – the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come.”
~James Whitcomb Riley
 
 

22. Use them to learn how to think positive.

“I stopped thinking the way other people think a long time ago, you gotta think like you think.”
~Rocky Balboa
 
 

“The important thing isn’t what other people think you are; it’s who you are.”
~Shannon L. Alder

24. Use them to have the courage to stand up for what you believe.

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
~Winston Churchill
 
 

25. Use them as the spark to finally live on your own terms.

“If you don’t develop the courage to do that which has been given you to do and you spend a lot of time going around trying to convince other people, trying to get their approval… What will happen is that you will lose your nerve and other people will convince you that what you are doing doesn’t have any value and you will give up on your dream…We go through life trying to seek security and not coming out of our comfort zone and we take most of our stuff with us to the grave. In life you are either here today and you are gone today. And I am saying the fact that you are still here, that you are still breathing, you’ve got some more work and you owe it to yourself, you owe it to yourself, so when you get up in the morning that you can look up yourself in the face and say – Hey, I am living my life on my terms.”
~Les Brown
