… distorts your truth.

When we lose ourselves in relationships, we lose sight of who we truly are. We give power over our own perceptions to those who cannot possibly know our reality. And then, we no longer retain our own thoughts/perceptions because we’ve traded them for the temporary validation of others.

But the truth is… no one knows the path you’re traveling and if you are dedicated to knowing yourself, and doing the work, then no one can know you better.

To worry about how people perceive you is to give up your power to those who are deluded about your truth. It doesn’t matter what people think about you, all that matters is what YOU think of YOU. Falling into the trap of seeing yourself through others’ eyes phase locks you into their story.

You are not here to live anyone else’s story; you’re here to live your own. The story you tell yourself becomes the story of your life. Whose story do you want to tell?
