PEOPLE ARE THE SUM TOTAL OF THEIR CONDITIONING FROM BIRTH AND SO THEY LIVE IN THEIR OWN REALITY/ PERSONALITY CONSTRUCTS. FREE YOURSELF BY REALIZING THAT YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY THEIR FICTION. NOR ARE YOU HERE TO MODIFY YOURSELF TO FIT WHAT THEY WANT IN THEIR PERCEPTION FILTER. LET GO OF PEOPLES OPINIONS, THEIR NEGATIVITY AND DON'T PLAY DOWN OR BE SAD TO MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEIR OWN SADNESS. FIND WHAT YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT, FIND WHAT YOU CARE FOR AND DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. YOU DEFINE YOURSELF, NOT OTHERS!
