I just came across this meme and thought about how sadly true this is. “What will people say…” Without even realizing it, this is often the first thing that comes to mind when we want to do something. Much too quickly we decide to think for everybody else. They will laugh at me, they will think it’s stupid. What if they will never speak to me again? And on so many levels this really is too bad.
Because we are afraid of other people’s opinions, we often decide to just not do it. It’s just safer that way. Even if we want to do something so badly, it’s just too important what other’s will think of it. It’s a shame really, cause how much credit did we give the people? Cause what if they will like it? What if they do like what you are doing? What if what you are doing will inspire them to also do what they want to do.
It’s really the biggest obstacle to think about what others will say. Cause it really shouldn’t matter. The only thing that really matters is that you do your every heart’s desire. And by doing so you will come across the right people who will be grateful for it. And more importantly, is doing what you want to do, make you feel how you want to feel? So, it’s not about what people will say, it’s how you feel about it.
