what-you-think-of-yourself

You are not who you think you are. You are not who they want you to be. You are not merely your colour, class, gender - and so on - these are quite narrow things. You are not the ideas you are given and gather. You are not what you own or lay claim to. You are not even your life story - for that changes through time, perspective, emphasis and many things. You are what resides before, between and beyond all these things." - R. Ogunlaru

What other people think is important to them. What you think has great importance to you.

The things that you consistently think of yourself and your abilities will always overwrite the things that people say about you.
