Don’t listen to the critic whose sole goal is to bring you down.  Listen to the one with advice who wants to lift you up and make you better.  – Jon Gordon

It is so easy for people to be critical.  It is exponentially easier to criticize than to help.  In today’s Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat world it is easy to emotionally post, bash, and criticize the action of just about anyone.  It is much more difficult to actually dive into problems with the intention of solving the problems.

Don’t let those who only want to bring you down succeed.  Don’t let those who feel better about themselves by complaining about others change your course.  We need to stand together so that optimistic, creative people can actually make the world a better place.  We need to win each moment, develop each idea, and get better every day.  We must lift each other up – not tear others down.  We can’t let the “blame, complain, and defend” critics stop our progress.

Stand up, lift up, and support those in your lives . . . it makes everyone better.
