Head held high

There's no reason to be dismayed by what others say or do. If they want to behave negatively, that's their problem, and not yours.

No person knows what's best for you more than you do. No person knows what you're capable of accomplishing more than you do.

Certainly other people can support and encourage you, and can be of great help to you, and you to them. See the good and the positive in those around you and connect with it.

Pay no mind to those who would drag you down with their criticism. There's no need to let someone's opinion stop you, for it's just an opinion.

You are who you are, regardless of what others think, say or do. You are unique and worthy and filled with great possibilities.

Focus your energy, your awareness and your efforts on those positive possibilities. You are here, you are capable, and with your head held high you know that the best is yet to come.
