Quit Worrying About What Others Are Thinking of You

Quit worrying about what others are thinking of you! This is one of the best pieces of advice I have ever received. If you feel the need to have the approval from others to succeed in life, you will be stuck in a world of mediocrity. 

If you want to accomplish your goals and dreams, then you must base those goals and dreams on what you want and you yearn for. We all have people who care for us, but the care and concern from your friends, spouse, children, peers, parents and others cannot determine your heart’s desires.  So stop worrying about what others think and pursue your heart.

Have you ever heard of the 18/40/60 rule? When you’re 18, you care about what others are thinking of you. When you’re 40, you don’t care what other’s think of you. When you’re 60, you realize no one has been thinking of you the whole time!

Is that not freeing to know that nobody is thinking about you? They are too focused on their own life, troubles and goals. Fact is, if they are thinking about you, then they are wondering what you are thinking about them! So stop focusing your thoughts on what others are thinking about you and start focusing on how to take care of yourself, your family, your friends and your goals. Now that you are free, dream big!

What dream will you go after now?
