\u201cYOU HAVEN'T LOST CHANCES TO BE A BETTER PERSON.\u201d\nAre you aware you\u2019re constantly being judged? I bet you are. Are you letting it affect the the way you live your life? I really hope not.\nToday, it\u2019s so much easier to feel the burden of judgment. With social media, our lives are always in the spotlight. There are so many people who will hate on us, and the more successful we are the more haters there usually are.\nYou can\u2019t listen to them. You just need to follow your heart and brush off their comments.\nFocus in on listening to those that you really do care about, not some stranger that you\u2019ve never heard of.\nI have a special guest who knows more about this than most people: Brooke Ence.\nBrooke is a fitness and Crossfit icon. She also appeared in Wonder Woman as an Amazonian warrior and she's just getting started.\nUnfortunately, she\u2019s always received a lot of criticism in her life. Her love of working out has meant she doesn\u2019t have a traditional female body. She can come off as intimidating to people, and there\u2019s always been a lot of backlash on social media because of it.\nLast year she suffered a spinal injury that nearly took her life\u2019s passion away from her. She decided not to let it ruin everything she has built.\nThrough pacing herself she\u2019s learned to get back into the competition world and has been making a massive recovery in such a short amount of time.\nSadly, this pacing of herself has lead to even more people criticizing her. They\u2019ve been trying to make her feel like she\u2019s burnt out or past her prime - but I get the feeling she\u2019s going to come back even stronger and better in the future.\nInstead of listening to the naysayers she\u2019s learned to focus her attention to people that truly know her, support her, and gauge her success on their reaction.\nOn this episode of The School of Greatness, Brooke really opens up about her injury and the struggles she\u2019s gone through as a woman focusing on her passion as opposed to society\u2019s standards.\nShe really is an inspiration to all people -- don't miss Episode 649.\nSome Questions I Ask:\nHow did you get your injury?
