You can either be proud of what your doing without caring of what others think, or you can be in fear of the opinions of others and let that control your behaviour. Do you really want the attitudes of others to influence you in a way that will lead to deterilous actions? Wouldn't it feel great if we stood by our truth while being unfettered of others beliefs and opinions? I myself, choose to stand up for what I believe feels right for me. The choice is yours - love yourself so completely that you are in bondage by others opinions, or be in fear of the external world and let that control your behaviour. What do you choose?
