But the hero wants to make sure that people don't feel that again, and then the villain says, ‘I want everybody to feel the same way.’” – Howie Chan “ It's emotionally draining trying to keep up with what you think others think of you. Be yourself and be kind to yourself. You're good enough, and others know this too. Once you embrace this, I promise you will be the best version of yourself.” - Ash Rathod “People want to know the real you. Of course, they want you to help them in terms of what they need from you and why they turn to you because of your expert opinion, your specialty, or your experience. But if they're not going to align with you in terms of values or they don't like you for whatever reason, they might just choose someone else that can also do that job as well.” - Ash Rathod 📩 Try the Legend Letters Newsletter Follow, subscribe, and don’t forget to leave a rating and review!
