To recognise love in spite of criticism, you have to understand that everyone's perspective - including your own - is limited and subjective. 
People tend to fear what they can't understand. So make an effort to understand where your loved ones are coming from and what may be the root of their concern or cynicism.
If you want their support, you have to build their trust. You need to minimise their fear so that they have more faith. When they have more faith, they're more likely to show positive support that you want.

Facing Family

We learn to care about how others feel about us but avoid focusing on how we feel about ourselves. This creates a society in which people try to impress others in order to be liked, but deep down they remain unsatisfied because they don't like themselves.
We change ourselves to fit in, rather than changing the world by being ourselves.

We're conditioned to care more about what others think of us

Every single one of your thoughts is either helping you move forwad in life or holding you back. Positive thinking is about favouring the one that moves you forward. And it's never too late to change your thoughts and reshape your beliefs to support, rather than hinder, yourself.
If you view something as negative, how can it also be positive at the same time? Therefore, how can one ever evaluate life as being positive, from a negative sense of perception?

Positive thinking

To sustain happiness, you must work towards self-mastery. It's an inward journey that requires substantial spiritual growth.
Choosing empowering thoughts over limiting ones should become your natural way of thinking. You must make it a habit to look on the bright side of things and let go of the past; to stop living in the future and appreciate where you are and what you have right now; to withdraw from comparisons, and love everything in this world without condition. Embrace what is. 
This is what true happiness is. It's lasting and it occurs when you remain at the highest frequency.

What if you could feel happy all the time?
