Perception Is Reality

If there is one thing I have learned in this life, it is that a person's perspective of a given situation is - ultimately - their reality. 

My question to you is this:

If your significant other has a higher opinion of you than you have of yourself, should you aspire to their expectations or rework their perspective to align with who you truly are?

I'll just leave this right here....

Remove Toxic People From Your Life

Today's realization: I AM SUPERMAN.

For months, a friend of mine has constantly reminded me that " You are not Superman."; asking me to slow down and pace myself because I can't do everything I had set in my mind to accomplish.  Foolishly, I listened; therefore, becoming a different person to some degree.  Every day, I allowed more and more of these outside opinions of my personality to reshape my thought process, alter my personal habits, and distort my perception of reality.  For months,  I'd listened to condescending advice and misguided opinions that slowly chipped away at the person I was until I was no longer a person I knew.
