Everyone has a right to their own thoughts and opinions,
and you have the right to totally ignore them.
Bohdi Sanders
Everyone has a right to their own thoughts and opinions, and you have the right to totally ignore them. Their opinions belong to them; there is no reason for you to allow them to influence your emotions. Just because they share their opinions with you doesn’t mean you have to be affected by them. They are free to think and believe what they want, and so are you.
Keep your focus on your goal of living a life of inner peace. When you are tempted to allow someone’s words or actions to get to you, ask yourself, “Will this bring me inner peace and tranquility, or anger, frustration, stress, and strife?” Just remember, anything that robs you of your inner peace is too expensive. If it is going to disrupt your inner peace, leave it where you found it and move on. Refuse to take the bait!
