I love it when my Good Earth Tea (and in this case, Steve Jobs) speak to me.

"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your inner voice." -Steve Jobs

And I would say, "Don't let the 'filters' of others drown out your true self."

Filters - baggage, B.S., triggers

And I would say, "Don't let your own 'filters' (baggage, B.S., triggers) drown out your true self."
