Don’t Let Anybody Tell You What To Do
You are the expert on you.
Everybody’s got something to say about what you do.
People you know, people you love, people you hate. Even people you’ve never met in posts like this one.
They tell you what to do, who to be, and how to live.
But nobody who tells you what to do actually knows what’s best for you. So stop listening to them.
People don’t know you as well as they think they know you.
No matter how long you’ve known a person, they don’t know the real you. They know the version you choose to share with them which might be 80% of yourself, but it’s never 100%.
The advice they give you can only be as successful as the amount they know about you — the real you.
People tell you what they WANT you to do.
Even people with the best intentions are influenced by their own desires.
They want you to be happy and successful, but in a way that fits their own definition of those terms.
That definition may not match your own.
