I will never be afraid to walk the path alone
NO ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND ME BUT ME
NO ONE HAS TO BE THERE FOR ME BUT ME
NO ONE HAS TO Love ME BUT ME
NO ONE HAS TO LISTEN BUT ME
NO ONE HAS TO TRY TO HELP ME BUT ME
NO ONE HAS TO AGREE WITH ME BUT ME
WHAT SOMEONE ELSE THINKS OF ME DOES NOT MATTER
WHAT I THINK OF SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT MY PLACE
I WILL NOT STRESS OVER THINGS OVER WHICH I HAVE NO CONTROL
I WILL NOT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK
I WILL NOT TRY TO PLEASE OTHERS
I WILL FORM MY OWN OPINIONS
I WILL QUESTION EVERYTHING
EXCEPT MY STRENGTH, BEAUTY, AND RESPONSIBILITY TO MYSELF
I WILL NOT COMPROMISE MY MORALS AND ETHICS FOR SIMPLISTIC GAINS,
CONVENIENCE, OR TO BE POLITICALLY OR SOCIALLY CORRECT
I WILL BE THE AUTHOR OF MY LIFE
I WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO BE HAPPY
I WILL LIVE IN THE MOMENT
I WILL STOP PROCRASTINATING
I WILL Dream BIG
I WILL SET UNREALISTIC GOALS AND GET AS CLOSE AS I CAN
I WILL NOT LET FAILURE STOP ME
EVERYTHING I WANT IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF FEAR
Stop forcing it, stop pushing.
Stop trying to make people "get" you.
Stop giving too much in hopes of receiving.
Stop trying to be understood
Stop trying to be agreeable
Stop trying to be polite
Stop trying to be loved and appreciated.
just be a good person. Baby steps every day from the person you are right now, to your dream version of yourself. Be passionate, be yourself, and be IN LOVE with yourself. Unapologetically.
The only way to fix these things is from the inside out. Once you believe these reminders, once you fall in love with you... These things will fall into place. That is the only way. It's isolating...until it's liberating. YOU HAVE ALL THE CONTROL
No, you can not control the outside world. You can not control what others think or feel, no matter how many different eloquent ways you say it....
but
You can control your life, your dreams, your reality, your suffering, your happiness. Let go of the outside world. Take the power back. This is only a distraction from progress.
No one can control how you feel. Nothing can "make" your life good/bad/happy. No one can "ruin" your day. This is the single biggest lie we are told. This is how they try to control us. I remind myself every single day. I choose to brainwash myself before anyone else can. I will create my paradigm, and my success. I have found nothing but success since I had this epiphany...
Life is a beautiful thing.
