What Others Think of You...

...Is None of Your Business!
If having others believing in you and your dream was a requirement for success, most of us would never accomplish anything.  You need to base your decisions about what you want to do on your goals and desire---not the goals, desire, opinions, and judgments of your parents, friends, spouse, children, and coworkers.  Quit worrying what other people think about you and follow your heart.


I like Dr. Daniel Amen's 18/40/60 Rule:  "When you're 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when your 40, you don't give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when you're 60, you realize nobody's been thinking about you at all."


Surprise, Surprise!  Most of the time, nobody's thinking about you at all!  They are too busy worrying about their own lives, and if they are thinking about you at all, they are wondering what you are thinking about them.  People think about themselves, not you.


Think about it---all the time you are wasting worrying about what other people think about your ideas, your goals, your clothes, your hair, and your home could all be better spent on thinking about and doing the things that will achieve your goals!


"You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.  That's what makes you a winner."
