Sometimes I find myself still making decisions based upon what others would say or think.
We all do.
When I was younger, this toxic thought process use to handicap me from doing anything. Recently, I’ve had to remind myself that no one really cares about me...THAT much.
It’s so simple.
People may give you compliments here and there, boost your ego from time to time, and tell you over and over again about how much they adore everything about you...
or...
They may tell you that you suck at everything you do, provide you with consistent bad vibes, or gossip daily about what you post on Instagram.
But in the grand scheme of it all, no one actually cares that much about you. People say and do things without much thought all the time. They say hurtful things all the time, and while you’re obsessing over the one little negative comment they made about you, they’ve forgotten what was said by the next minute.
I use to go to work and feel like every single action I made was being super observed and watched by everyone around me. But half the time, everyone is really worried about themselves. And that’s what it really comes down to.
So, might as well become your own number one best friend (unless you’re putting Jesus first lol), and go for it all. Why put your dreams, goals, and desires on hold for others? Do exactly what’s set on your heart, because at the end of the day.....
No one really cares that much about you.
