Happy self

Do not let other’s opinions of you determine who you are.
Instead of worrying about what others think,
Devote yourself to your dreams

When someone doesnt like us
It is not our problem but theirs.
Not everyone will like us.
This is a problem only if we let it bother us

By complaining that something we have to do is too hard,
We add another layer of difficulty.
Take a deep breath, and then just do it.

Haemin Sunim, “The Things You Can See Only when You Slow Down”
