Don't the feel the need to fit in. We all like to fit in. We all want to be accepted. We all want to be part of a crowd. However, at what cost? What do we have to give up to fit in at school, at work, or with people we consider to be the cool kids?
Sometimes, there is a very hefty price. Sometimes, the price is so huge that we start to compromise our integrity, our character, our honesty, and our sense of self.
If this is how feel, then it is most definitely the time to honestly answer the following question: Are you prepared to lose yourself to the expectations and demands of others?
If the answer is YES, then it is really time for a reality check. You can do that when others are paying your bills, buying you food, and giving you a place to stay out of the kindness of their heart.
Seriously, you and I both know that the answer is NO.
Now, you just have to admit it to yourself and believe it.
Thank you,
