“Encourage others to objectively reflect on their performance. Take ego, emotion, and opinion out of the equation. Take it for what it is.”
There once was a younger version of you that prayed, spent countless time, energy, and effort developing your craft, and worked really hard to get where you are at now. Don’t let that person down. Foot on the gas. You owe it to yourself. You vs. You.
