'I'm not living my life to be 'liked.' I care less about fitting in'- Dino Melaye

Dino Melaye posted this on his Facebook wall this afternoon

"I'm not living my life to be 'liked.' I care less about fitting in. As long as I'm living my purpose, I'm willing to be hated on, misunderstood, and criticized. After all, that's just a price you pay when you share your gift. When your life speaks greatness, this world will do anything to silence that voice.

That's why my SELF-WORTH isn't based upon what you think. I won't allow my happiness to be dependent upon pleasing opinions. I'll never live for your validation, and your opinions on how I live hold no value to my life. God knows my heart and i know who i am. So, you can either love me or hate me, but regardless of what you decide, I promise you this...I'll never stop being who GOD created me to be!".
