You are Your Own Motivator

[chicksrock]

I used to always seek approval from family & friends before I did anything...
-whether it was the clothes I buy
-my university major
pretty much everything in my life.

This made me the biggest AFC ever. I never had confidence to do anything by myself.

I always thought others knew better.

Now I finally realise that ONLY I KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR ME!

RESULT
Despite getting lots of disaproval from family and friends,
I totally ignore them now...
I realise what they have to say is complete Shy*t
I don't waste my time seeking for their approval for anything from anyone anymore..
I just follow my own passions

MORAL:
Find trust in yourself, believe in yourself....do what you want to do.....have confidence in that .....and you will become successful in everything you do.

good advice, although you might want to add one thing.

I realise what they have to say is complete Shy*t

Don't completely ignore constructive advice from people who know what they're talking about. Don't automaticaly accept their opinion but take it, evaluate it, and decide for yourself whether you want to use it or not. You might just be hurting yourself by not accepting opinions. Such as, when I play the piano, if I get an opinion about my playing from my dad who has been playing for around 40 years I am not going to simply dismiss the comment as useless, it might be very valuable indeed. Just wanted to add that point in.
