Vain Tears or Fuel You Can Use?

       What people can say can really hurt, especially if it comes from a friend. I have had many people tell me that I am not good enough, I am doing (whatever I am doing) wrong, call me names, and just be plain mean. Yes, my feelings were hurt but, I have a saying that I like to go by that I would like to share with you (I quote my Mama), "Are your tears going to be in vain, or are you going to use them as fuel"? (If you don't notice that was in my below post.) True, it is very hard to get past what people say but, that is when you tell yourself that you are good enough and that what they are saying is not true. This is because it is either that person is jealous that they wish that they could do what you are doing or it could be coming from an insecurity of theirs that they won't admit (it could be multiple other things too). You just have to be the strong one and keep moving forward! Stay positive :)!
