• Engagement in Beyond 2015 activities.

Don’t Loose Yourself!

It’s hard to move forward when someone else controls your steps, It’s hard to be successful working off someone else’s clock, Its hard to live your life, living off someone else’s opinion. If you don’t care what they think, then stop listening to what they say; The more you entertain others peoples negative opinions about you, the more power you give them to control your life. The problem isn’t what they said about you…

The problem is you choose to believe the things they said; If other peoples negative opinions about you can convince you to give up on your dreams, then you don’t deserve to have that dream in the first place. If other peoples negative opinions about you can convince you to put your life on hold, then you were never ready to move forward in the first place.

You might not be in control of what people bring across your way, but you are always in control of what you choose to accept…Don’t lose yourself trying to win other people over; Don’t put your life on hold just because they feel the time isn’t right for you to move ahead; Don’t let living for “them” cost you “you”. Your dreams are just as important as their expectations. Don’t let your happiness depend on the approval of others.

No matter how much you change for the better, there will always be people who will only see you for who you used to be, they will overlook everything you are doing right just to try to find out what you are doing wrong. You got to forget them and focus. If I listened to opinions, I would never be where I am today. I learned to stop taking advice from people who knew nothing about my life.

Opinions don’t matter, it’s what you choose to believe that does.
