The happier you are with your decisions, the less you care about other people’s opinions
How lucky we are when our family and friends are 100% in agreement with our life decisions. However, even the people who love you most can be wrong and not support you, but be a stumbling block.
Whether out of love or pain, there is one thing we all learn, and that is that our happiness depends on ourselves. So when it comes to making a decision, put yourself first, because if you don’t value yourself, no one else will.
If you do not count on the fortune of applause for each of your decisions, but on sharp criticism, just think that everyone grows differently, and although many times opinions can contribute to your happiness or unhappiness, they are not determining.
Listening to the opinion of those around us is often a good thing. Timely advice can save us a lot of pain and disappointment. Also, different points of view give us perspective on things and help us choose more wisely. But beware! If you give too much volume to the voices around you, you may lose your own voice in the decision-making process.
You are in control of your life, your opinion is the most important and only you make the final decision.
If you just stick to the need to listen to others, you can compromise the creation of an authentic and happy life. Even people who love you and are with you through thick and thin can be wrong, and it is not a matter of proving them wrong, but of living under the weight of your own decisions, for better or for worse.
You never know when your last day will be, so you better have lived by your own decisions, not under the shadow of the words of those around you. Failure is not pretty, it’s true, but when you overcome failure in the same way that it was obtained (with your own decisions) you not only gain experience, but also a high degree of inner satisfaction.
It is necessary to free ourselves from the desire to please other people, because in that we are losing the best years of our lives.
No matter what you do, it will never be enough to please everyone around you. You will always find someone who thinks differently, because as the old saying goes, “every head is a world”. Seek your own well-being and inner peace first, only then will you be satisfied enough to bring love and understanding to those around you.
If you’re happy with your decision, great! Let nothing and no one disturb you, let not the opinions of others rob you of that satisfaction. Only you are in your own shoes, so you better be very comfortable with what you decide.
The key to your happiness is not in other people’s hands, so live your life for yourself.
