Dr. John A. King tells you to stop letting other people's judgment shrink you. Not everyone will get what you're doing, and that's fine. Your identity lives in what comes next, not what happened before.
Hey, hey, listen. Not everyone's going to get you. Not everyone's going to see you trying. Not everyone's going to understand that you're doing your very best with what you've got. And look, that's okay. Don't allow their inability to accept you or see you or try and help you or stand beside you limit your ability to be able to move forward. Look, if they can't do it, you've got to let it go. You can either hold on to your past or move into your future. You, you have to make that choice. But once you start to allow someone else to define your world for you, they will always make it too small. Look, my world's big. I am not my past, I am my future. And I'll be buggered if someone's inability to see my potential or believe in me is ever going to hold me back from being the man that I really believe I can be.
