Let them be mad.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
Let them ignore you.
Let them be right.
Let them doubt you.
Let them hate you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.

But never let them make you question your worth.
