Remember One Thing: Do You
This morning I saw this quote by Ghandi:
“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win.”
―Mahatma Ghandi
―Mahatma Ghandi
This quote says so much about life. Try to do something different and people will ignore you. Stay at it long enough, then people will ridicule you and say bad things about you. Continue on that path and then they will do things to stop you. Once you continue going, as your momentum has truly picked up speed, you will be able to steamroll the naysayers, the haters, the detractors and you will have won.
This is true. This is life.
Do You and by that I mean: Do the things that motivate you and bring joy into your life.
Peace & Love,
Yasmin
