Stop living your life according to other
people’s opinions and set yourself free.
If you are continually concerned with other people’s opinions about what you do, how you look, how you dress, what you say, or how you live your life, you have made yourself a willing prisoner of other people’s opinions. Stop living your life according to other people’s opinions and set yourself free.
While everyone is free to express their own opinions, they are just that – their opinions. They should have no bearing on your life at all. The opinions of others are nothing more than their thoughts spoken aloud. Other people’s opinions are not facts or weighted in truth; they are simply their thoughts and their point of view. Everyone has their opinions, even those who do not publicly share their thoughts.
The opinions of other people do not carry any more weight in your life than what you allow them to. You will never maintain your inner peace if you are continually concerned with what other people think about how you live your life. When it comes right down to it, their opinions on your life have no meaning unless you give them meaning.
Be willing to be judged by others, and keep in mind that their opinions or judgments do not affect you unless you allow them to. When you truly don’t care what anyone thinks of your decisions or how you live your life, you have reached the pinnacle of true freedom. Refuse to be influenced by anyone else unless their influence adds value to your life.
