Learning to tune into self and tune everything outside OFF

Learning we love our friends and family so much we allow them to have say and control of our lives so much to the fact we start dumbing ourselves down due to their own perspectives. In a age of social media ruling we must tune out and turn on our self awareness from source (the Divine, God, or whomever you worship) at times it’s best to tune out and turn off and focus inwardly. We have much work to do inside of our own selves than to worry about adding on the burden of others.
