Vested.

When someone allows others to influence every part of his thoughts and behaviors, when that someone lets the world put his value and integrity, is because that same person deep inside does not feel as an empowered individual, does not feel he has anything unique to offer to the world, so in subconscious confusion and suffering he lets himself be absorbed by the lack of morality and stupid ideology of the world.  This is the ego taking over and distancing that person from who he really is, from his divine spark, from his uniqueness and natural talents.

All of us, absolutely 100% of us, have been endowed with spiritual or divine expression, talents and special characteristics which make us who we are, which help us free our spirit from the bondage of all the depression and stress of daily living we may feel at times.  We have been born with these great gifts in us because all of us are born to experience joy and bliss in all we do, and so find our true selves among the mediocrity of society; however, we must comprehend that these gifts, or to find these gifts within ourselves, are a test, and we must search deeply and inquire within us to allow ourselves to embrace them, and this is done so we learn to be free and wise in our own lives, in our own terms and by making our own decisions.

Stop letting family, friends, and the world overall, tell you what you should be and what you should think.  Work on self-love and reach all your gifts.

Find out your own value, because no one is in your mind and in your body, no one can see in you and experience what you experience; therefore, what you could find if you inquire within yourself and allow your attention to steer to your true self is bigger than what you might think.

Reach absolute freedom and create your own way, break out from the mental prison the world creates, and share your hidden talents with the world.
