Don’t Let the Opinions of Other People Weigh You Down
Over the years, I’ve experienced too many opinions from people that have impacted my life in so many ways. However, as I grow older, I learned that whatever you do, may it be good or bad, people will still say things about you.
That’s when I learned to let go and free myself from those shackles of people’s opinions about me. I convinced myself that I wasn’t cut out for those things they are saying.
While it’s true that people all around us have an impact on our daily walk. The good news is that we can choose whether to continue to stay positive or negative. Being positive is always better for a successful and happier life. Negativity should never have an impact on you. Look for the positive in every situation! However, it is easier said than done because in reality words do hurt and they can weigh us down.
So here are some pieces of advice that I hold dear to my heart and maybe it can help you to survive the opinions of others about you:
Always question the root of the assumptions you make about yourself, especially negative ones.
In the face of rejection, dare to ask why and try again.
Pick your battles, but know that what you want is worth the fight.
These three pieces of advice have played a great role in my personal growth. And It took me years before I finally know how to deal with the opinion of others. Always remember that we are not here to please every people we meet. Free yourself and know that it’s okay to live a life perfectly imperfect.
