They say when you reach a point in your life where you no longer care what other people think about you, you’ve reached a dangerously awesome level of freedom and it’s so true.
A lot of the time we’re prisoners in our own life because we care so much about the opinions of others. We don’t wear what we want to wear, go the places we want, say the things we mean and the list goes on, all because we are worrying what others will think or say, who cares!
I use to care so much about what everyone thought of me, or what others would say. One day it hit me, it really doesn’t matter. Those who truly know you know you, they know what you’re about and what you stand for and even if they didn’t would it really matter? Would it change a thing, would it actually change who you are? Everyone is entitled to their opinion but honestly their opinion is irrelevant, it only becomes your reality if you make it your reality.
Energy is everything, your energy will speak for itself so let it, everything else is just superficial trimmings.
When you stop caring about what others think you experience true freedom. To live your life the way you choose to is an amazing feeling. All of that caring about what others think brings so much anxiety into your life, the fear of being judged, the fear of not being good enough, the fear of being misunderstood. It’s so toxic to your well being, it traps you in a state of constant anxiousness and worry.
If we all directed our energy into being the best version of ourselves the way we see it, living our life the way we want to the world would be a much better place. Everyone would be at peace. People wouldn’t be so stressed and worried about minor things, no one will feel the need to keep up with the Jones just because. Do what you want to do, when and how you feel to.
Don’t allow society to dictate to you how you should live, there is no right or wrong way to do things only the way you choose, the way that makes you happy.
Life is too short to spend it appeasing the masses, worrying about what people think of you.
How to live free? It’s simple really, stop caring about what other think of you.
Do you, be free.
