Here’s the deal: how you see you will determine how other people see you. You are the only person who can define who you are and who it is that you want to be. You set your own limits.
However, for some reason, even though I think many of us know this, we still allow other people to define us. It’s weird and terrible all at the same time as to how we let other people and society define our limitations and our lives. They ingrain us into believing their definition of who we are and who we should be. They literally become our dictionary for how we should define ourselves.
So let’s take a step back. Why is it that we allow other people to define our lives? Is it our own insecurities, our loss of empowerment, or our need to please? Hmm… I don’t really know if it’s all of these things or none of these things. Nevertheless, it’s essential that we remember we define ourselves, no one else.
We are the only ones who can determine who it is that we become, where we go in life, and how we live our lives. When we give other people the permission to define us, then we lose our individuality. We lose our sense of self. We lose our power and belief of defying everything that the people around us and others try to box us into being or try to tell us that we cannot do. It’s too much and too confusing trying to be everything that everyone wants us to be.
I mean, why should we really care what other people say or what other people try to shape us into being? We need to define ourselves and live our lives based on our own beliefs and who is that we aspire to be. That’s it. Love yourself enough to define yourself. You define you.
