Don’t Worry About What Others Think

Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who’s doing what. – Erma Bombeck

This is so basic that it isn’t even funny, except for one thing.  Just about everybody I know, myself included is more concerned about what other people think of them then they are of anything else.  Don’t worry about what others think of you, or anything else.  It truly doesn’t matter.  The only opinion regarding you that matters is your opinion.

I don’t know why we care so much about what others think and why their opinions matter so much.  I hate to think we are so insecure when it comes to ourselves that the opinions of others matter more to us than our own.  If we spent even a quarter of the time we spend trying to conform to the opinions of others focusing on ourselves and liking who we are, we’d be so much happier.  The fact of the matter is, you are special, and I am special.  We’re all special in our own unique and individual ways.  Seriously, who cares what anybody else thinks.  As long as you’re happy with who you are and what you’re doing, that’s all that matters.
