Don’t let others dictate how high you can fly
Don’t let others determine how far you may travel
Don’t let others decide what is possible for you
And don’t let others dissuade you from following your dreams.
When others attempt to limit, restrict or control you
When they try to talk you out of living in accordance with your own vision for your life
And when they strive to keep you from taking action toward your goals
May you be reminded of the fact
That the power lies in your hands
To create a better reality
To reinvent yourself
And to build a brighter future
And when met with conflict, disapproval or disagreement
You may smile and nod in agreement
While secretly pursuing your own path
And moving forward
In peace and silence
Reassured by the knowledge
That while insecurities are loud
Confidence is quiet.
