We do not have the courage to be disliked. Getting liked by others is the most basic and social need of us human beings. But if you look at successful people they dared to be different, to take the path where everyone will frown upon.
Can we take that path? Can we build this muscle of being disliked?
I think we can, if we have self-confidence and gratitude with us.
These are not easy, firstly, the biggest challenge is to change the perception of failure. Secondly “Whatever happens, happens for good”, we should count our blessings. If we consistently keep these, we can be different and succeed.
And this doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to be rude or impolite to show a different path, it means being humble but firm and going down the path, which we think is right.
