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. […] Refuse to be your own victim, and quiet the crowd. When you catch yourself thinking some person or situation is ruining your life, apply the old iron prescription: it is you who is doing that to yourself, and you who can stop. Care less what others think, or you remain their prisoner; remember that even choosing not to decide is itself a choice you own. Practice self-acceptance, not self-flagellation, and feed the right voice. Own your failures without condemning your self; speak to yourself in the voice that recalls what you have overcome, not the one that only prosecutes. — Who Is Flying (Self, Nature & Nurture)
