Update on how to handle criticism

Joel says "Some of you today need to get free from trying to please everybody, you need to break free from worrying that somebody is going to criticize you, just remember if you are criticized you are in good company Jesus was probably criticized more than anybody, He got criticized for healing a man on the Sabbath, in other words for doing something good. He was crtiicized for going to dinner with a tax collector, they called him a friend of sinners. He was criticized for helping a lady in need, somebody that they were about to stone. But one thing I love about Jesus is that he didn't change to try to fit into everybody's mold.He didn't try to explain himself and make everybody understand him, he just ran his race. He didn't look to the left or to the right, he stayed focused on the prize that was set before him, he fulfilled his destiny." I am listening to this while I work on my homework. Just remember today Shake it off... remember that the higher you go the more people are going to want to take shots at you.
