Some people will always criticize your every move, judge your every action and blame you for everything that goes wrong. And the real question is, are you really going to let that affect you? Take a moment and actually look at their lives, like a quick reality check, not a deep dive. What exactly are they doing with their own lives that qualifies them to judge yours? You will get your answer right there, no research required. Most of the time, they are not guiding you, they are just bored and need a hobby. And unfortunately, you somehow became their favorite weekend project. So be aware of their intentions and don't sign up for that role. Because if you start listening to everyone, you'll just keep running in circles... basically cardio, but no burnt calories.
