Quote of the Week: “Must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.”

Quote: “Must not allow other people’s limited perceptions to define us.” ~Virginia Satir

Ever have someone look at your dream and basically laugh in slow motion?

Maybe it was subtle—like a raised eyebrow, a “that’s… ambitious,” or a polite nod that screamed good luck with that. And suddenly, you’re second-guessing everything. “Maybe they’re right. Who am I to even try?”

Here’s the thing: most people view the world through their own lens. Their doubts aren’t about you—they’re about them. Their experiences. Their fears. Their limits. You don’t have to wear those like a sweater that doesn’t fit.

Your vision, your path, your weird little dream that lights you up—that’s yours for a reason.

So apply for the job they say you’re not ready for. Start the business your uncle doesn’t get. Write the book no one asked for but the world sorely needs. You’re not here to fit into someone else’s small box—you’re here to break it open.

Let them think small.

You? You get to think big, messy, & bold.

Because the only person who gets to define you… is you.
