You Are The Star

You are the star of your story.....Just as everyone else is the star of their own individual stories.  The folks around you (family, friends, and frenemies alike) are all just surviving their own lives and insecurities, starring in their own story of their own reality.  Their perception of you is based on their views and issues, so don't let their perception of their reality shape yours....Don't take them personally because what they are projecting is based on their experiences, fears, traumas, etc.  Bottom-line, don't let the projections of others define you as it is not a true reflection of you.  Know that changing damaging habits and personal growth are not an admonishment of who you are, just the accumulation of life's traps that surround us....but once you are aware, you can take the steps to move forward without taking on the negative chatter about who you are ... You are a wonderful creation of God!  Take care of you!!!
