I Can Be Beat But I Cannot Be Beaten

I can be beat but I cannot be beaten. I can be criticized but criticism cannot stop me. I can be ignored and misunderstood but I cannot stop being me. I can be hated but I cannot hate back because I know the only thing that can defeat me are the thoughts and feelings that live inside of me. And because I like feeling good about being me, I only think thoughts that inspire and empower me.
