It seems that I often find myself looking to others to give me my “self” esteem. There is zero logic in that process. This quote today was a reminder that I am the master of my destiny.
Recently someone told me I had to turn my live over to God. I am not sure what that means. I assume God, like any father spiritual or physical, teaches his children and then allows them to grow and learn from their own experiences and choices.
I can’t “make” anyone understand who I am or what I stand for. I can’t “make” anyone like me. I can’t “make anyone even agree with me. It is up to “me” to live the way I see fit and embrace who I am. If “I” don’t like it then I need to change. I need to seek others or God to “change” me, the work comes from within.
You either get it or you don’t.
You are right … you can not change others, so you also do not let others change you
You are exactly right, we are who we are and should live within ourselves. Never change for someone else. If you want to change let it be for you. And we cannot change others.
