I Am Who I Am

I Am Who I Am

I refuse to be categorized.  I will not allow myself to be put into a box such as:

Male
African American
Liberal Democrat
Member of the ninety-eight percent

I will be judged by the work I do not the bucket someone wants to put me in.  
I will not assume everyone else knows what's best for me.  I will be my own guide.
I will not believe everything I'm told and follow blindly.  
I will challenge everything, question everything, and validate everything.
I will not wear rose colored glasses.
I will be my own person.  I will choose my own thoughts.
I will not be absorbed by negative energy as it saps the soul.  

---

I will not be obsessed with the media.  
I will understand and accept that polarization of the masses is part of their objective.  
I will not accept what I hear as fact.

I will follow my inner spirit.

I will move forward and do my part to change the world for the better.
