Let Them Talk

Silence is power; transform critics' negativity into fuel. Success speaks louder than gossip—build quietly and become undeniably strong in purpose and faith.

I remember the first time I stepped out to launch PRAY

The excitement was electric, but so was the noise around me. 

People cheered, for sure, but a lot of people questioned. Whispers of doubt started spreading. They didn’t think their doubts would reach my ears, but they did.  

Ever been there? Have your dreams ever collided with other people’s doubts? 

Here’s what I learned: let them talk. 

Their words can't define your worth unless you give them the power to.

Your silence speaks louder.

I used to think I needed to set every record straight, defend my dreams, and explain my goals. But the more I did, the more energy I lost. 

Proverbs 17:28 says, "Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues." So instead of responding, I chose silence. 

Suddenly, their voices got quieter, and my focus got clearer.

That’s when I understood that silence doesn’t mean you are surrendering; it's a powerful strategy.

Turn noise into fuel.

You can’t control what other people will say or think about you. What you can control is how you react to their comments.

Every negative word thrown your way can be transformed into fuel. 

Use criticism as motivation, judgment as determination, and doubt as discipline.

Growth requires turning negativity into fuel, chatter into focus, and doubt into drive.

Live louder than their words.

Your results speak louder than people’s gossip ever could. 

When the blessings start flowing, when your hard work shows up, when doors open, people notice. 

They might not even remember every negative thing they said, but you'll remember how you rose above it. 

Keep building, keep praying, keep growing.

Build in silence, win in public.

The Bible says in Matthew 6:4, "Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." 

Work in silence. Pray in silence. Grow in silence. 

Because success doesn’t shout; it emerges powerfully. 

The critics, the gossip, the doubters…Let them talk

Let their words fall flat as you rise strong.
