Many times we do what others want, against what we think and feel, because we are afraid that we will somehow be rejected and unloved if we don’t do as we are told. But when we do this we are actually damaging our own self and creating a lower self esteem. Think twice before succumbing to the pressures of others. Your self worth is much more important.

Remember that someone’s opinion is based on what they have experienced in their own life through their eyes.  And when they give their opinion or advice, it comes from their perspective without truly knowing your circumstances through your eyes. Even if the advice is well meaning know that it comes from someone who only understands your experience through their eyes.
