The more you value yourself, the more the world values you.

The more you invest in yourself, the more the world invests in you.

The more you treat yourself as a genius, the more your genius unfolds.

The more you give yourself permission to do amazing things, the more amazing the world precedes you.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show.

I'm your host Sean Croxton at Sean Croxton.com.

We got Dr. John D. Martini back on the show today.

He's going to cover a couple of different topics within a very short amount of time.

First things first, fear of rejection.

It doesn't matter what you're doing, how positive it may be.

You are going to have haters.

There is no way to avoid it.

I've been reading, I've been researching for this book I'm going to write.

And so I've been reading a lot of like anthropology and evolutionary psychology. And one thing I learned about the other day is that we're kind of wired to hate on each other.

Because when somebody started, when somebody within our group starts doing better, we lose something called relative standing.

And when you're losing relative standing, it means that your mating opportunities go down. And so it's like,

it's kind of wired into us. And so if you are not doing what you really want to do because you're

going to have haters, those haters aren't going anywhere. Like they're just, it's just part of life.

You're going to have them. And in one way or another, you're probably a hater yourself.

I think we're all kind of haters on the inside.

We all hate on somebody because that's just the way humans are wired for survival.

And again, mating prospects.
