You Cannot Allow Others To Compartmentalize And Categorize You Into What They Think Of You

When you do that, you surrender all control of your identity and who you are as a person to others. You allow them to determine your life path and your destiny based on their personal, biased, and skewed world view. You become a slave to what others expect you to be instead of being your true self. No one has the power to take that from you, it is ultimately your decision to give it away. Be true to your heart and follow your own way, the path you were meant to travel. Be wary of destructive criticism aimed at achieving someone else's agenda and objectives, yet never be too proud to accept criticism if the shoe fits. Stop being the world's doormat and claim your individual right to be whoever you desire to be. It is when you are willing to do this and put action to words that you put down your many masks and learn what it means to be truly free.
