sounds strange to make such a statement but it is the truth

you will join a very elite group of people if you can make the transition to stop

being what others want you to be and to be who you really are

to have the courage to stop doing things that aren’t right for you and going along

to please others when you have no interest and/or it goes against your core beliefs

you have the right to disagree with my core beliefs, but i will no longer tolerate

you trying to change them

you can be you and i can be me and we need not spend wasted time trying to convert one another

step up or step out as the case may be

but going against yourself is the ultimate crime, because if you can’t respect yourself

no way you can respect others

have the courage to be you, the real you
