Why do we choose to hold onto old perceptions about ourselves? Maybe when we were younger we were the kid on the playground who always liked to be on the monkey bars. Maybe we hated peas as a child and now have learned to love it. Who you were 10 years ago or even a year ago may not be the person you are today. When people try to peg you as a certain kind of person sometimes it can leave you perplexed. People who want to tell you who you are, may actually be insecure about something in their own lives, therefore want you to remain this certain person in order to make some kind of sense in their own world. As you grow and learn, those closest to you will understand and either grow with you or go off in their own direction.
Don't people realize, everyone evolves every single day. Everyday is a fresh new start into doing or being exactly what you want. Instead of sentences like, "Oh, I can't go to that place because it's usually not a place I like to hang out at." Give it a try. Expanding your boundaries can really bring on major changes in your life that you would never have expected. The past cannot serve you, old identity's may no longer hold any truth. Dream new dreams because just like everything in nature that constantly changes, so is the individual. That is what makes life beautiful...when every moment is captured and realized it carries great potential.
I believe we have the power to create miracles within our own lives. Surrounding yourself with positive relationships and environment can really nurture the inner you, and give you the boost needed to fulfill a certain dream. We let little dreams die away without even realizing it when our friends or family tell us it's not possible because it's just not who we are...
So we take the safer route, the road with little risks. But as I've learned from a book I am reading, every choice we make comes with good things and bad things. We may take on a great new job, but the commute is longer. We may choose to enter into a relationship and the alone time is not there as much anymore. And so the point is, try not to spend too much time contemplating your choices. Let some of the worry go because no matter road you take, it WILL lead you somewhere...
Listen to your own inner voice, only you know yourself today better than anyone else.

this is completely true. i have found this same thing in people that i've known. i've come to the unfortunate conclusion that people who make bad judgements of, or slyly voice slanderous comments toward others, are just not truly happy with themselves. i see this again and again. truthfully, i think they are trying to redirect ridicule that they feel should be destined for themselves.
conversely, there are others who never engage in this behavior. these people are much fewer in number but these are people who are completely happy and conduct themselves with honesty at all times. these are the folks that will criticize you to your face when you deserve it. i have a friend who is like this, and i hold him in the highest regard. he doesn't talk about you behind your back, he just gives his opinion to you directly at all times. he is a real friend.
there was a famous man once who was widely known for his expertise in his profession but criticized at times for his personality. once, when he was approached by someone who was concerned about his feelings and his public image, he laughed hard and long and said... "Listen... I know who I am!"
