Defining yourself is one of the most important things you can do. People are going to tell you who they think you are as if they know you better than you know yourself. Define who you want to be and freedom will follow.

Don’t be confused between what people say you are and who you know you are.

People love to tell others what they can or cannot do as if they had the wisdom to really know the capability of someone else. This word could do better with less armchair critics and more trail blazers.

I want to start my own business one day. People love to tell me why I shouldn’t and all the reasons why I would fail. Sometimes you just have to politely disagree. If I am being completely honest the hardest part of following your own path is knowing the next step.

I have had a hard time in my life wanting everyone to like me. The thing is some people will just not like me. I can’t help that nor should I. If someone tries to make everyone happy then they will not really be themself.

As much as I am tempted to try to please everyone I have had to learn that some people will inevitably not like me. Discovering who I am has involved finding what I love despite what others think. If I am going to pursue a hobby then I must ask myself, “would I still do this if people mocked me for it”. The truth is that while some people will cast stones you will more than likely connect with those that think like you. This is where you discover who you are and not what the world wants you to be.
