try to be gentle with yourself. #aaronrodgers #nflmotivation #motivation #mindset #dontquit #lifeadvice #riseandredefine

Be gentle with yourself. Be gentle with the journey. There's going to be mistakes. There's going to be ups and downs. The measure is not how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up. I do believe that you shouldn't worry about criticism from someone that you would never ask advice from. That quote, and it hit me when I was like 38 years old. It was only a couple years ago. I wish I'd heard that when I was 15. Because we care so much about what people think of us and what they say about us. Most of the time it's people that we would never ask for advice from. And it's hard to wrap your mind around that because at our core we want to be seen and understood. We also want to be liked. We want to be liked. You don't want to be like a polarizing figure who is labeled all these crazy things.
