It wonderful when you catch this realization that as much as friends and family and the other human connections we form are important, even more important is our perception of self. Do we have enough self-worth to stick with our goals, ambitions, values and principles? Sticking with self amidst the strong human force and compulsion to bend to fit the mold and people’s expectations is overall satisfying and rewarding across every facet of our lives.
It’s liberating and grounding, helps us focus and prioritized what’s important.
Thanks for sharing this.
