Whenever one pursues greatness in their life, in virtually any way, others will most certainly negatively judge them in doing so. Typically, it is higher quality, personally developed people who consciously do not engage in this unjustified & unproductive act of negatively judging people’s pursuits of greatness. In principle, some of the common psychological drivers behind this are selfishness & fear. Examples are gaining from another’s loss, making fun of someone, feeling insignificant due to another’s pursuit, and fearing the loss of connection with someone due to their pursuit. I’ve personally experienced quite a bit of this negative judgment & rejection throughout my life. However, this negative judgment has no meaning and one should develop themselves to not feel a negative emotional charge when this occurs. Pursuing greatness, despite other people’s negative judgments of you, is the right move to make.
