Every person you meet wants something out of you. Accept it.
They want you to get out of the way.
They want you to do things their way.
Some will big you up.
Some try to tear you down.
In every interaction, you have the opportunity to respond (not react) in your own way, in your time.
The pause between thought and word is your opportunity to say No to others and Yes to yourself.
What do you want? It’s a question you should ask yourself frequently.
Decide, do and don’t let anyone stop you.
