— from Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
In the book
The third fault is handing your worth to the crowd. Care about what other people think, and you will always be their prisoner; give others the power to decide how you feel about yourself, and you have given them power over you entirely. If you find yourself forever spending fuel on how you are seen, your pride always needing defense, you are flying with a leak you have not yet found. — Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
