You feel like you’re failing because you’re not doing it their way. You feel like they are judging your moves. You don’t realize that YOU are judging you, in anticipation.

Past experiences cause YOU turn against you… to brace yourself for the impact of expected judgment.
Be who YOU are and let them think what they want to think.
Be true to YOURSELF, your desires, your needs, your priorities.
Make moves that make sense for YOU.
We are all here for our individual journeys. We’ll never reach OUR individual destinations by navigating our lives by THEIR map.
Mentorship is great. Seasoned wisdom is appreciated. And at some point, we have to care less about outside opinions and follow what WE know is right.
From Me to me… and maybe to you, too.
