You are the Master Designer and Master Programmer of your life and you do not owe anyone an explanation of your life nor do you need anyone's approval of what you are doing with your life. People will try to insinuate themselves into your life on the pretence of being for you, when what they are really doing is trying to get information regarding your private life. While you can be extremely trusting, you do not need to trust everyone with your life, your goals and your dreams.
You can listen to others, but make sure you are also listening to and trusting yourself. No one outside of you knows you much better than how you know yourself. You have it in you to make the best decisions for your life. The decisions you make do not need any final approval from anyone outside of you.
Learn to believe in yourself, believe in your own mind, trust your heart, and listen to the inner messages of your soul. If we put our lives in the hands of others, we will end up where they are going and that may not be where you ultimately want to end up. There is a saying that goes, "When climbing the ladder of success, make sure it is not leaning against someone else's wall." ~Author Unknown.
In order to move our lives forward instead of backward, it is important that we extricate our thoughts from the thoughts of others. We need to clear our mind, heart and soul.
When individuals do not understand what is going on in your life, they will try to overpower your life, demand that you follow what they say and demand that they know what is best for you. As a result, before you know it, everything that you have built up for years, turns into tatters. You are no longer a child. You can determine what is best for you. Focus on your thoughts for your life and do not allow any external thoughts to derail your life. If other people's thoughts are not on our wavelength, we will only be inviting trouble, chaos and confusion into our lives. Because eventually those thoughts will creep into your mind and cloud your judgment.
When we can own our life and realize that we know what is best for ourselves, we will no longer have the need to explain your life to anyone. You have everything in you that can tell you if you are going in the right direction or not. What is the right direction for you will not be the direction for others. What others think of your decisions concerning your life whether positive or negative, is none of your business. They do not guide your life.
You are your ultimate guide!
