2. Judgment is a Good Sign

Being judged means people pay attention to your works. They have at least read (a part of) your article or watched (a part of) your video in order to judge you.

3. Laugh at Yourself First

You might not be the most articulate or the most well-read person, but you, like everyone else, have a voice and a unique story.

4. Don’t Take Life or Yourself Too Seriously

5. Try again

Pat yourself on the back for doing all of the above. Remember, you are not failed but pre-successful! (Jason Mendoza From The Good Place)
