Live your life for you. Mistakes are ok!
Life can become so much about other people’s opinions, experiences, and we don’t even realize it. We shape our entire world on other people’s experiences and opinions of life. We are shaped growing up by learned or reactionary behavior that eventually just becomes every day life…
To not give a flying Fidget spinner, about what people think of you is truly one of the most freeing moments in one’s life.
To find out what we think of the world we have to question it. As you learn more you will change, as you change others will disapprove because you are becoming less like them, or less like the pack. There is a fear wrapped around being successful and being different. Those differences, and feeling superior or better than others breeds hate, and is the seed that racism continues to strengthen from. The us versus them mentality.
Success or being happy in life is a great target for those not happy with what is going on in their own lives. Everyone wants success, but not everyone is willing to work for it. Not everyone is willing to put up with all of their friends thinking less of them because they want something better for their own lives. The funny thing is everyone wants what they see, but not what the reality is. No one will ever know the work you have put into you, no one will ever know what sacrifices you have made, and that gives no one the right to tell you how to live your life.
Someone’s opinion of you does not have define you. ~ Les Brown
We are here for an experience of our own. So… Experience. Everything can be questioned but one thing we know that is factual is that everything is always changing and if it isn’t changing for the better than it is probably getting worse. Find your why, know what you are working so hard for.
If need be, you may have to fire some friends.
One of my mentors Aaron Spieser told me a long time ago that you will have to fire people in your life. You will have to fire friends, and possibly family, because climbing the latter is not easy with people pulling you down. Living a happy life in general isn’t easy, and if you have people in your life that are always pulling you down, by telling you what you can’t do, or what you aren’t good enough for, then maybe think real hard what purpose they are serving? Maybe you need to let them know how it makes you feel. Usually others are saying these things because they are scared. Most people won’t realize how hurtful that doubt they give you really is. The closer you are to someone, the more you love and care for them, the easier it is for their words to be hurtful. Speak with those people, and your relationship may grow even stronger.
Respect everyone and wish the best for all. We know like vibrations attract like vibrations, and in that manner I want everyone around me to be successful.
Share the love guys.
