why let other people determine your reality? if you care what they think, this is ultimately what you are doing. you are allowing their thoughts to have power over your reality. this is nonsense, for they have no such power. you are only entertaining the illusion of them having such a power.
we do not need anyones permission or approval to be who we are or to do what we desire.
the only person really judging us is ourselves, and our thoughts about ourselves are what limit us being our full potential. We are free to look past these thoughts at any time and realise they have no power, because no-thing has power over our being.
our being is already all that it is. it is complete. it is what makes these thoughts possible in the first place. it is the 'master', the thoughts are the puppet. believing it to be the other way around is an illusion. an illusion with no power unless we hold the belief that it has power. and even then we are exerting energy in creating an illusion of what isnt, when we could just relax and sigh of relief in accepting what already is.
the point is, you define your own reality, no one else does. unless you give them the power to.
