Why do we care what others think ?
We seek Affirmation-
We want to affirm that we count, that we are respected and most of all that we matter -
So we seek affirmation and by doing so sometimes we do not speak our minds or we do not want to “ rock the boat” so we go along to get along.
The crazy thing is the only person that really matters as to what we think or do is ourselves- so follow your gut, follow your heart and lead. That is easier said then done because we are conditioned from childhood to want to please others, we live for that praise from our parents, then our teachers and bosses. Wanting to be respected and praised is a good thing but we cannot forget that we can stand alone and we can disagree at times.
It is healthy to debate and necessary to listen to ALL sides but in the end you know what is right and what you believe and must be able to speak your mind and your opinion.
Do not look for affirmation outside of your own - stand up and always remember what -and who- is important in your life.
Always be kind- you can agree to disagree at times but do not hold hate in or it will take over.
