When a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try to control how others see you.

The misinformation will feel unfair, but stay above it, trusting that other people will eventually see the truth, just like you did.

Be brave, be honest, stand tall and stay above it.

It’s not enough to wish for the world that you want. You have to fight for it.

[Vala Afshar @ValaAfshar]

Doctors won’t make you healthy.

Nutritionists won’t make you slim.

Teachers won’t make you smart.

Gurus won’t make you calm.

Mentors won’t make you rich.

Trainers won’t make you fit.

Ultimately, you have to take responsibility. Save yourself. —@naval
