This week's theme is dealing with the opinions of others. 👍🏽👎🏽🖕🏽 The hardest opinions to ignore are the ones of your family. 😳 I mean, it's one thing for a stranger or someone not that close to you to tell you what's on their mind. It's totally easier to pay it no mind.🙄 But when it comes to family... that can be tricky territory. 🤨 My life was ruled by the opinions of my family - little stuff and big decisions. I've missed out on opportunities because I valued their opinions over my own...and of course cuz their family.🤷🏽♀️ One day I realized no matter what I did they would have something to say, majority negative or negativity veiled as positivity. Their opinions are based in fear. Now I listen and I keep it moving. I'm not concerned what they think about me, my parenting style, my career, my relationships... none of it. 🙅🏽♀️ Some of ya'll are grown and still allowing your parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunties, and uncles run your life based on their fears. Think about that. 🤔 #ThursdayThoughts #YourLifeYourRules #Writers #Artists #Entrepreneurs #Coaches #Educators #Speakers #StopWhiningStartWriting #Bloggers #BeYou #NoMatterWhatPeopleSay #NoMatterWhat #SelfCare #TryIt https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFaQCcDaP9/?igshid=q588389uad7c
