Don’t let the opinions of how other’s think of you influence what you feel is best, it matters not what they think, all that really matters in life is how you think and feel about yourself. Often times we waste so much of our energy worrying about the opinions of others, we so desperately want to be liked and accepted; we grow this desire to please everyone but ourselves. When we take on characteristics that we feel others will like, we in turn restrict ourselves on who we really are and all that we have potential to become, we become slaves to others opinions, it takes control of our lives then we lose sight of everything we hold dear, we grow bitter then blame others; when in reality it was ourselves who allowed this to happen.

Real personal mastery is when we make the decision to rise above social approval and decide to work on self approval instead, be the kind of person you are proud to see in the morning when you look into the mirror, the person you always dreamed to be; true to yourself.
