What Will They Think?

Here’s a wake-up call for you:  When you’re worried about what others think of you, you’re really just worried about what you think of yourself.

At times you may flatter yourself indirectly by thinking that every little fault you see in yourself is also present in the minds of everyone around you, as if these people are constantly contemplating your personal strengths and weaknesses.  But the truth is, 99.9% of the time, they aren’t. 

I will quote Eleanor Roosevelt, who said. "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realised how seldom they do."

And regardless of whether others are judging you or not, you can’t control what they think.  The only thing you can control is yourself.  

Some people will look down on you for your decisions in life no matter what they are.  You can’t do anything about that.  The only thing you can do is live in such a way that brings peace to your own heart and mind.

The floor is yours…
