If People Underestimate You…

There are instances when you feel looked down upon by someone. It may be direct or tacit, but you must have felt it nonetheless.

Belittling others and glorifying oneself is human nature. Acts of underestimation are intended to demoralize. They make you question your own abilities.

They either do not realize what you are capable of doing or do not want you to realize your true potential. But, that’s fine.

If someone underestimates you, it is that person’s problem. You don’t have to lose sleep over it. Keep the negative attitude of that person from dragging you down. The fact that you are underestimated means that you are good at something.

One of the best ways to overcome underestimation is by ignoring the source, and focusing on doing your stuff instead. Why bother about those who would want you to fail?
