The more we focus less on what others think about us, the easier we will find peace within ourselves. As people we all seek the approval of others, and at different points in our lives it is this approval that often presumably drives our direction in life. Though this is often productive on the surface, more often than not, we end up places in life that we know we shouldn't really be. How can we ever expect to be happy if we know that deep down we aren't even on course to fulfilling our dreams?

Today is a new day, and a day that you will never get back. Pledge your life to spending more time with yourself, and figuring out where exactly it is that you want to go. Don't stop there, be sure to make advances towards your aspirations daily, and never submit to failure, you only fail when you quit working towards the goal!
