It’s really quite simple. To get what we want, and to be happy living it… you have to own your shit. Own your past, own your weaknesses, own your baggage. Most importantly, KNOW your values so that you can own them too. Because when you own your values, every decision becomes easy. Also, everytime you waver on values to fit into a job description, or a relationship… you create a weak link. Either in THEM, or in YOU.

Both are detrimental.

Unfortunately, the way others view you is part of marketing yourself to the world and getting what you want. YOU ARE YOUR OWN BRAND. So if you cannot clearly define yourself, you will put yourself into a position to get what someone else wants.
