"Never let someone else's opinion of you become your reality."
Now, I don't know who said this, or where it comes from, but wow... this is by far the most accurate and true statement I've heard in a while.
We often become so consumed by what others think of us, that we eventually allow those opinions to affect how we think or how we see ourselves. What a tragedy!
I know it's not easy, but we must try not to let the views of others, dictate how we live our lives. Be who you are and always be true to yourself.
Others are welcome to their opinions, but they have no right to make you feel inferior.
