AN UNDER-ACHIEVED PERSON IS NEVER AN AUTHORITY FOR YOU
On the path to greatness there are lots of things you would have to face, but one of the things you must not face is public opinion about you, it ought not to mean anything to you, only God's word should mean everything to you.
Listen to your leader and to God, and let their words and report about you drown every other voice with Focus! One time my Pastor, Rev. Hutchison, said to me, and that was addressed directly, he stated : “sometimes the only way you master skill at a thing is by doing it continually”. Then I learnt you don't develop skill and excellence by listening to opinions, you develop skill by sticking to instructions and practice. Thus, by doing what you must do, regardless.
Let me make this very simple for you : “never respect, esteem or hold highly the words of people who have an opinion for you about something they haven't yet accomplished”. In your relation with such a person, you must consciously admit that the fellow is still not yet an authority in what he utters. He's just talking (forming words), not counselling, because he's got no clue (practical wisdom, hence understanding) about what he's referring to.
A master (teacher, counselor and consultant) is one who has built something great, this was why Jesus was called Master or Rabbi, which doubles to mean Teacher, He qualified for that reverence because He was a leader with works to prove!
Jesus said in John 13:16, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant (yet-to-be or yet-to-try) is not greater than his lord (Teacher & Master); neither he that is sent (trained to make progress) greater than he that sent (equips and teaches) him”.
This is to mean, anyone who isn't a leader in what you do, necessarily doesn't have the right teach you what you must do. You don't seek for counsel from people who haven't achieved what you're pressing through, neither should you receive guidance from persons you're greater than in any field.
Doing otherwise is not humility but the way to destruction, a loss that scars like keloids, one you'll never forget. Sitting under a youtube-trained "doctor" for surgical operation isn't humility but a senseless suicide.
Rehoboam missed greatness, he lost the promise of an entire kingdom because he rejected the counsel of the achieved (the elders) for the cheap counsel from the achieving (his colleagues). Stick to the Bible so you don't repeat senseless mistakes!
