Ultimately, you have to look into the mirror and make an accounting of yourself: the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, don't let anyone diminish your intrinsic value as a human being. You are what you think of yourself, and what you aspire to be. The world does not benefit from you playing small or shrinking. Be a trojan horse and allow your greatest aspirations, your excellence, your highest, most benevolent thoughts to flow forward.
