💬It’s not that other people’s opinion of you shouldn’t matter, but your opinion of yourself should always matter more. * * * Sometimes it can be difficult for us to go our own way, have our own style, or live life on our on terms. * * * Part of the difficulty is that other people’s opinions can often guide our steps more than they should. * * * When I had my first job out of college and things were going really well, but I wanted to leave and leap and get off the path I was on. Lots of people told me that was a bad idea and said I should wait, they didn’t understand what I was doing , or they had a completely different vision on what I should do. * * * I listened and weighed their advice and decided to go my own way because I realized people would have something to say regardless but the most important thing would be when I was alone in a room in complete silence what would I be able to say to myself. * * * That time was another defining moment for my mindset and a catalyst for the way I began to live my life.. * * * Spend some time developing your self talk so that you can evaluate others opinions against the most important one-your own. * * * 📣 People also told me that I should not cut my hair at home. Now that was good advice because for a minute I looked like #doratheexplorer and I had to say self- go get professional help🤣But as time went on I actually became pretty good with a home haircut 💇🏾 😊 * * * What are you saying to yourself? * * * #yupigotthis #yupyougotthis #spendtimereflecting #selftalk #selftalkmatters #selftalks #selftalksunday #goyourownway #youropinionmatters #starttheweekoffright #notetoself #sundayselfcare #saiditbeforeillsayitagain #notsolongagothrowback #writingprompt #bloggish https://www.instagram.com/p/B8oo8CCnVVi/?igshid=dlf4wbhfe8zi
