“We live in a world that is great at measuring and comparing externals. Somewhere along the way, we decided that we could determine who is living a more valuable life by comparing clothes, cars, homes, paychecks, beauty, or Twitter and by our followers. But externals are rarely a good measure. Net-worth has never been a good indicator of self-worth. When start comparing ourselves to others, we rob our self’s from having gratitude, joy, and fulfillment. I think we as a culture fear social judgment, and most miss out on the life they could have had. My father was a wise man and I try my best to follow in his footsteps. I don’t try to impress others, I feel like when I allow my self to be just me I can express my-self more fully and connect with people, more genuinely. Because the less time and energy I spend on my image management, or making my life presentable to others, The more time I have to spend on things that really matter. I want be remembered as having the courage to allow people to see the real me. I think allowing my self to be an open book is good for self-knowledge and s good for developing thick skin. I think once you become open and express your best self, others will think great things about you, and the few that don’t won’t matter anyway.”
