Criticism isn’t always a bad thing — in fact, it’s often a sign that you’re doing something worth people’s attention. When you start moving, building, creating, or leading, not everyone will cheer for you. Some will question, some will doubt, and some will criticize. But that’s okay — it means you’re visible. It means what you’re doing matters enough for people to notice.

Instead of wasting energy resenting it, learn from it. Ask yourself: “Is there truth in what they’re saying?” If yes, grow from it. If not, let it go. Either way, you win.

Be grateful that you’ve made it into a space where people actually care enough to critique what you’re doing. That’s not failure — that’s progress. The only people who never face criticism are the ones who never take action.

So keep moving forward. Stay humble, stay focused, and remember — the noise is proof that your work is being heard.
