Hey Walt, do you find it difficult at times being such a positive person to be that way with people day to day? I fight cynicism regularly day to day and I temper my enthusiasm as a result at times, just wondered…thx. - M

F*** the haters.

You have to do what makes you happy, and be who you are no matter what that refers to (work, life choices, your personality, etc.)

If you measure you’re happiness or self worth by what others think of you, then you have it backwards. Trust that you’re the best person in the world and that you’re the best at what you do.

I have an open dialogue with my critics. I don’t shun them, I actually learn from their critques. But I definitely never let them own me. I own me, and that’s that. -Walt
