Your body has five senses, but not to be ignored are the inner senses of your soul: intuition, foresight, and self-trust.  The most common differences between successful and unsuccessful people lie in their use of these inner senses. This makes all the difference in the world.

Being true to yourself takes work, because it’s so easy to get sidetracked and influenced by others.  It’s easy to get caught up in the drama.  You have to put in the effort and stand strong every day to honor your own ideas, feelings, intuitions and aspirations.

I challenge you to make this your lifelong motto: “I respectfully do not care.”  Say it to anyone who passes judgment on something you strongly believe in or something that makes you who you are.  People will inevitable judge you at some point anyway, and that’s OK.  You affected their life; don’t let them affect yours.
