"You will have to live with the consequences of everything you say. What you say can preserve life or destroy it; so you must accept the consequences of your words." Proverbs 18:21 Good News Translation
What you say and believe about yourself will determine how far you go in life. What others say and believe about you does not effect you...unless you receive it. If your success depended on what others believe and say about you, you would never accomplish anything. Quit making decisions based on what other people think - their opinions, their judments, their desires. Do what's in your heart regardless of how others feel.
"You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. That's what makes you a winner."
~ Venus Williams, Professional Tennis Champion
You need to understand the 18/40/60 Rule. Let me share it with you.
18/40/60 RULE:
At age 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you.
At age 40, you don't care what anybody thinks of you.
At age 60, you realize nobody's been thinking about you at all.
"Most of the time, nobody's thinking about you at all! They are too busy worrying about their own lives, and if they are thinking about you at all, they are wondering what you are thinking about them. People think about themselves, not you. Think about it - all the time you are wasting worrying about what other people think about your ideas, your goals, your clothes, your hair, and your home could all be better spent on thinking about and doing the things that will achieve your goals."
~ Jack Canfield
