Eleanor Roosevelt quote on criticism.
Do what you feel in your heart to be right for youll be criticized anyway. Youll be damned if you do, and damned if you dont.
You can even be in jail, and all your friends and people who say they are your sisters and brothers say you are wrong...but if you are at peace with what you did, nothing they say can bring you any discomfort...

People choose their feelings about what others say and do. So if one wants to be all "hurt", we all know this is because they chose to be so.
This is a good thing, because you can make a decision to change it in less than a second.
Turn on some good music, and turn it up.
Some time back I was reading something about this and came across a discussion wherein someone was letting go of criticism they didn't think was appropriate, someone not taking care in their response.
Their answer? "I've upped my standards. Up yours".
Feel free to borrow it.
