Owning Your Life

“Do not waste your precious time giving one single crap about what anybody else thinks of you.”
– Jen Sincero

In this modern era, we all have this inner dilemma wherein we refuse to be ourselves just as we are and choose to be defined by others. That alone makes this quote timelessly relevant and applicable no matter what generation we are in. Do you ever noticed that we only feel beautiful when we are told we are? That we only see our potential when people are impressed by us, and that we only feel good when we fit to that certain judgement of people and receive their validation? Being yourself nowadays is suffocating because you drown yourself to other people’s expectations and definitions of what you should be without even realizing that these people, whose words you put value into, only know a fraction of your story which make them completely incapable of giving accurate judgement.

So, do you want to know who can give accurate judgment and whose validation should you seek? YOURS. YOURS ALONE. Provide yourself some great and high metrics on how to measure your worth without being influenced by the voices of others. The reason why you never actually measure up for others is because subconsciously, their beliefs are different from yours. Follow your own metrics, make sure they’re deep and wise, and as long as you’re in the process of doing whatever it takes to meet them, then you’re valuable because you believe you are.

Cheer up and own your life!
