Hey guys, welcome to another Tommy talk. And today's episode is don't let anyone dim your light.

Look, I don't care if you're a public figure or not. There are a lot of people in this world who want to

tear you down. They want to talk about you behind your back. They want to post things online

negatively about you. They want to gossip about you. And inevitably, we hear things about ourselves,

you know, whether it's gossip through the grapevine or we see something online or somebody

writes something. We see it. And of course it can affect you because that can be extremely

hurtful. But your light should be yours to

protect and that's something no one can take away from you if you can protect it protect your confidence

your joy your ambition your authenticity you know i always say don't shrink yourself to make someone

else feel bigger because you are enough and this is who you are so let yourself be who you are you don't

have to always please other people people are always going to project their opinions onto you

that's life people might be subconsciously projecting their fears onto you when they do that who knows

i'm not a psychologist but your light baby it's not meant to be dim. It's meant to shine. And I am so

sick and tired of seeing people online or in conversation trying to constantly take people's light

away. It's like enough is enough, you guys. I am so against toxic internet culture. I speak

about it a lot. I think there's a lot of women who tear women down. I think there's a lot of gay men who tear gay men down. And I bring up those categories of people

because these should be people who are championing one another the most. And it breaks my heart

to see sometimes that's not always the case. So your light is yours. It should be protected, right? And I don't know about you, but have you ever

walked into a room feeling totally confident and then maybe walked out questioning yourself

because maybe you thought people were whispering or maybe people were saying something or maybe

conversations that you saw in the past about yourself are surfacing and affecting your

self-conscious and your being.
