Simple, practical, applicable wisdom from Julien Smith:
Some people don’t like you, and guess what? There’s nothing you can do about it. No amount of coercion, toadying, or pandering to their interests will help.
You don’t need everyone to like you. How liberating this is may not even hit you yet, but it will. Check this out: when people don’t like you, nothing actually happens. The world does not end. You don’t feel them breathing down your neck. In fact, the more you ignore them and just go about your business, the better off you are.
Hear your detractors, listen to your supporters.
Live with a grateful heart. Things work out.
