Find Yourself, Think For Yourself

Hello Readers,

One of the greatest achievements in the world is to know how to belong to oneself. If you truly want to be respected by the people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them. Always try to stand on your own two feet. Don’t let the noise of other people’s opinions drown your own inner voice and confuse your thoughts.

The most courageous act of all is to think for yourself and be responsible for your own decisions. You are no bird, and no net ensnares you because you are a free human being with an independent will and mind of your own. What a mistake it is to expect others to build the world they want rather than to work hard at creating it for themselves. Don’t be satisfied with other people’s stories, instead start doing things differently and in your own style. Be your own person. Self-respect, dependence and resourcefulness is the root of discipline and self-value. The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to anything that goes against your better judgment. Behave like your own boss and not a sheep.

One of your most important inborn strengths is possessing an independent spirit. Previously, you may have found yourself in situations where you didn’t have anyone to rely upon or who was available to help you, yet you somehow still managed to complete a task or overcome a huge obstacle alone. However, sometimes that same tendency might put off certain people around you because they lack understanding or envy your inner strength and capabilities. Be an independent thinker at all times and ignore anyone who attempts to define you in a limiting way. Put down strong boundaries sending out clear messages to others of how you expect to be treated, and what behaviour is acceptable and what is not.

Self-confidence is knowing who you are and not changing yourself one bit because someone else’s version of reality is not the same as yours. You are not born to please anyone, you are here to live your life happily in the best way you can. Standing apart from others allows you remain strong and resolute in the face of all adversity, refusing to sway and give way to childish whims and fickleness. Just know that in yourself right now is the only place you’ve got.

Rule your mind or else it will rule you.

Love and light,
