Forge your own path!

Today, I was informed a little bit about Christiano Ronaldo.

Not a lover, but I do respect him and his crazy work ethic.

Back when he was just a lad, he trained himself to be an overall good football player.

Got ideas from here and there.

Nani tried going down the same path (both Portuguese, played/play for Manchester United, understandable really)

And Ronaldo is one of the world's best and Nani is the guy who tries to be Ronaldo.

Moral of the story:

No one can decide for you!

No one knows whats best for you like you do.

& NOBODY can do you better than you can do you.

I think we have it all.

The strength, the style, the ambition even the work ethic to be all that we need to satisfy the insecurities within.

The hole within.

I spend so much time trying to be more like her and more like him, I forget to look for those qualities in ME.

To groom those qualities to becoming a well rounded... me.

For some it's easy, for others it's hard to distinguish themselves from everybody else.

We evolve the way others evolve, when they evolve.

We like what others like & we hate what's mainstream because it's mainstream.

We buy those currently fashionable clothes even though you never really liked them or felt like they flattered you.

We mimic behavior and patterns and... it's not you.

It's the compilation of people you are around or admire.

It's hard to listen to that tiny voice in your head that's ALL you because you're afraid or felt unworthy or embarrassed or WRONG.

I try and mimic what and who I want to be instead of finding the qualities in myself, what does that do for me?

Then the most deadly thing is when we limit ourselves.

I can't do it because I'm:

Not special enough.

Not popular enough.

Not nice enough

Not smart enough.

Not social enough.

Not enough at all!

We spend so much of your time focusing on what other people think of us, that we forget to consider what we think of ourselves.

Many of us move mountains to keep promises to our friends, yet have issues keeping a simple promise to ourselves.

If you had a friend that treated you the way that you treat yourself, would you still be friends?

Keep in mind that what other people think of you is NONE of your business.

But what you think of you is nothing but your business.

Know what you need.

Know what you want.

Do what you need to do.

Do what you want to do.

Love yourself.

Trust yourself.

I'd like to believe if you manage all this, then everything will fall into place.

All the things you do are dependent on your relationship with you, so if you want to break up with you, or want some space from you then you need to sit down and fix things with yourself because unlike any man or woman - you can't walk out on yourself.

You are awesome for reading this so hug me through this picture of Ronaldo, yes? No? Okay.
