Dont let anyone say what you are or what you can do.
Once you start listening, you will start believing and that's where everything falls down
Once you start falling down, it's so hard to come back.
Same goes for your self confidence.
And what happens without it? Nothing.
You will start putting other people above you. You won't state your opinions to others
You will be dependent on other people
And mostly other people say shit so you are doomed
There goes your ideas, plans and your future too.
You will end up cribbing or crying about everything happening without even understanding that the time you lost doing that is far more valuable and important than doing that
And then one day when you will realize , you will crib about that too and this vicious circle goes on.
There is nothing more than self love. Self love leads to self discovery. Self discovery leads to exploring. Exploring leads to Innovation. Innovation will boost your self confidence and here you do. Voila. You will know how to live.
And you will hopefully be happy doing that.
