About This Quote

In this quote, the speaker is encouraging people to embrace change. By accepting other people’s opinions and ideas about them, they run the risk of becoming somebody different from who they really are. In other words, you should not be afraid of who you're not because it is a part of you. The people you meet will be a part of your journey to find yourself, and to find the person that you want to be.

Listen to their comments, think about what they say, and then decide for yourself whether or not you agree with them. Don't let other people's opinions dictate your actions. If you do, you may never get to know the real person who is underneath all that.
