Thoughts

So I just signed on to the whole Twitter phenomenon. First of all, I just don't get it. I can't figure it out. Anyways...

I follow John Mayer on Twitter (how weird is that?!), and I noticed one of his "tweets" from today. It read:

"Living by the power of other people's suggestion will slowly kill you. Genuine self esteem isn't a roller coaster. It comes from within."

So, to me, this takes a while to unpack. I get the first sentence... you have to make your decisions your own. Taking others' suggestions into consideration might help, but living by them will squelch your ability to make decisions for yourself.

It's the second half of the quote that gets me thinking. What do you think?
