“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.” — Elvis Presley
No matter how great of a person you are, it’s a fact that many will not like you or understand you.
This is why I continue to make my anti-bullying You Tube videos (link below in the anti-bullying section). It’s not just to inspire others, but to selfishly remind myself.
However, if you think about it, not being liked by everyone takes a huge amount of pressure off of you. Just be yourself and life works itself out.
We are all unique individuals and we all strive to be loved and accepted. However, that’s not always the case. Some don’t understand us, therefore cannot accept us. Nevertheless, we should all continue doing what we set out to do. Continue following your dreams and celebrating your differentness!
