If you allow people to weigh you, you will never be preferred. If you thrive on inference from people all the time, you won't go far. There is always a limit to counsel. People will weigh you on the scale of norms. Extraordinary people break norms. If you want to be extraordinary, you have to consciously weigh yourself on the scale of purpose. The scale of purpose is accurate and true. It will not mislead you. It will navigate you to your place of fulfillment.
