Decide Who You Are for Yourself

Don’t let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It’s your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don’t let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours.

There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others’ prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now.

You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being. Adventure.

You Do Not Have to Do What Everyone Else Is Doing

You are unique. You have different talents and abilities. You don’t have to always follow in the footsteps of others. And most important, you should always remind yourself that you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing and have a responsibility to develop the talents you have been given.
