Renowned American pastor and author, Joel Scott Osteen, in his message to the world has urged people not to worry over naysayers because they only make people lose focus in life.
According to Pastor Osteen, society mostly tries to oppose people mainly because of their success level and status in life.
The motivational preacher in series of tweets urged people to take the criticisms rather as a compliment.

Everyone has a right to have their opinion, and you have the right not to agree with it. No matter what you do, some people are not going to understand. Start running your race. Follow what God put in your heart.
