Something I was lucky enough to learn fairly early on in my life was being myself. No matter what anyone thought of me, I was me.
That hasn’t changed. If anything I have become more hard headed when it comes to changing who I am. Don’t get it twisted, I am not saying that I am not willing to grow or change, it’s just that it’s on my terms. I don’t change because someone else thinks I should change or that I am doing something wrong. The only voice that really matters is mine.
That couldn’t ring more true now, the more you do, the more people have opinions. On my marriage, my divorce, my kids, my new relationship, my job, my passion projects…if I listened to all the noise, I would literally go crazy. The only opinion of you that matters is yours. With that, go easy on yourself, if you feel like something isn’t working, don’t dwell, fix it. Whatever that means. You are in control, don’t let anyone else have a say in who you should be.
