Journey Quote by Catriona Gray
“I just constantly tell myself that I should be the only one to define my worth and what I'm capable of and how I perceive myself.

![“I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God]…” quote by Jon Foreman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/64d/jon-foreman-2854_albums_i-am-often-tempted-to-think-of-success-i_1858398.jpg)
