Hey OneInBillions.

As we go through life...we collect ideas that become our personal truths...and often our family creates them for us. Some truths we discard along the way...However, there are personal truths that we tend to cling to, even if they are detrimental to us. Several years ago...I took a long hard look at my list of personal beliefs...some were benificial to me, but most were toxic, outdated or downright ridiculous.

I now know that 99.9% of people care little about what I think or what I do...They care more about thier own lives. We can't wait for others to validate, laud or honour us...I now know that we must do that for ourselves. We can't make others good or happy...and we certainly can't make others love us.

I never married or had children, but I have found that pursuing worthwhile projects that don't need others approval is serving me well...A life well lived....And if I meet like minded others along the way, then that is a bonus.
