What's best for you?

   There comes a point when you just have to no longer care what anybody thinks. People will try to influence you to make a decision how they think is best. Yes, sometimes teacher and parents, as well as others, may have more information than you do, but you are the only one who can make the best decisions for yourself. You can listen to other people's opinions, but they are only opinions. A very wise person once said,

               "If you trim yourself down to suit everyone you will soon whittle yourself away." 

What that means is; let the haters hate, and you do what you think is best for you. Then you will be a much happier and  more healthy person.

               If you are all alone after making a decision, the first instinctive reaction is to question yourself.Was that the right thing to do? What could I have done differently to make everyone else like me? Maybe the other option would have been better. These are easy to think. However another wise person said:

                "It's better to walk alone than with a crowd that is headed in the wrong direction"

That quote is very self-explanatory. Even if you are going alone, that is better than going the wrong way with a lot of people. So even if you have made a decision and you seem outcast because of it, as long as you made the best choice with what you had to work with, you are doing it right.
