XVIII - The Moon
Today talked about facing your other self. Have you been acting or behaving a certain way because that is the way everyone is behaving, or that it's what's expected of you? Come on.. you can do better. Isn't the true self within you any match to what's expected of you? I believe it is, or even better than others' expectations.
I truly believe that yes, others' expectations of you matter, but frankly, they're only their expectations based on the norms around them, norms that they themselves are subjected to, and thus believe it's the right way to do things. If deep within, you feel strongly that no, that's not me, then go ahead. Carry a strong faith and move along. Regardless of the consequences, you are who you are. If something turns out wrong, then you'll learn from them. If it turns out right? There you go, self believe is always the way to start off. Successful people didn't start off listening to others. Yes they make references, but never following instructions. Be the abnormality within the normalcy. Stand out, Loud and Proud!
