Day 23: The importance of you! (The Shift - Dyer)

"The fact is that who you are has absolutely nothing to do with any thoughts or opinions that exist in anyone else in this world.  Period.  That person whose approval you desperately sought could change his mind tomorrow; and instead of thinking that you're intelligent, talented, and beautiful...might decide you're a foolish dolt who's unappealing to be around.  If you listen to your authentic self, you'll be completely unaffected by such judgments.  However, if your false self dominates your thinking, you'll be miserably affected.  This is how ego lures you into disregarding your authentic self."  Wayne Dyer, The Shift
