The views of others reflect not at all upon you unless you allow them to. Their views are colored by their own life experiences: their fears, their loves, their hatreds, their needs, their insecurities. Nothing you can say will ever change their minds. Only they can do that. What better way to show them the error of their ways than to demonstrate to them that the Light that they revere is in every path to spirituality? To lead and instruct by being the best that we can be, always? And that darkness can be found in anyone, in any faith, and that it is not so much to be feared so long as it is in balance with the Light within. Balance is the key. Tolerance is the way. .

About This Quote

"Don't let the opinions of others affect you. Your opinion is not determined by what others think. Only you can determine your own opinion. What others say about you does not reflect negatively on you unless you allow it to.

Their opinions are colored by their own life experiences: their fears, their loves, their hatreds, their needs, their insecurities. The only opinion that should matter is your own and there is no better place to demonstrate that your opinion is right than in front of those who constantly challenge you."
