Your brick story

I learned something AWESOME earlier this year, and I am going to explain it here, first with broccoli.
If I can find 100 people who don't like broccoli, does that mean broccoli tastes bad? No, it is a reflection of the people I have found, not a reflection of broccoli. The broccoli is what it is, and the people do not decide what the broccoli is.
Let’s apply that to people, shall we? Whatever a given person thinks of you, is a reflection of who THAT person is, not who YOU are. Consider this, some people love you, some people hate you. What is the difference between someone that loves you, and someone that hates you? You are the same, so it MUST be the OTHER person that is different.
I am who I am, and nobody else can decide who I am. Nobody else can decide if I am worth liking, I decide if I am worth liking.
Here is something else that I find to be very interesting: If I decide that I am worth liking, more people will like me!

I have been learning a LOT of things over the last 3 years, from a LOT of sources. some of it I come up with on my own, by putting together two or more thoughts or ideas, some of them are reworded from things that I learned, and some of totally my own ideas. (which I do NOT take credit for, I think ideas are simply information that is out there in the universe to be "heard" by anyone that will listen... Ok, that sounds a little "Woo Woo," or "out there," but I think you understand what I mean.) That particular bit of knowledge was something I came up with after combining "Morris Massey" with "Don Miguel Ruiz." a very strange combination, but with these ingredients, (Broccoli and people) I have created a tasty recipe!

That is really inspiring. I have thought that myself often, but sometimes it is sooo hard to believe and live by, because people can be so judgmental at times and it makes you want to change to fit in with what they want. But I dont want to, I want to be who I am meant to be. Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring words, its made my day better.
