189. Ignore Their Opinion : 4 Reminders to Help Ignore People's Opinions

Stop caring about peoples opinions and start living a life that is true to you. I’ve been there before where I cared more about what people thought instead of listening to what I truly wanted. I was allowing people to be in the driver seat of my life by making decisions for me instead of me making them for myself . The moment I flipped this around and started only focusing on what I wanted was when I began to live a life authentic to me. Today we’re going to dive into the four reminders that help me ignore peoples opinions, which allows me to follow my heart and interests.

 

 

Everyone in this world is entitled to their opinion but that doesn’t mean we should or have to listen to it. In order to truly live a life authentic to us, we must be fully confident and happy with the choices we make within all buckets of our life. Yes, it’s totally okay to seek advice or feedback from people that we trust but at the end of the day, our decisions should be our decisions and not theirs. These are the 4 reminders to help ignore peoples opinions :

  • 1 : The man in the arena theory. If someone is not already seeking a path similar to us or has even taken that first step, ignore their opinion. We should only value those who are or have walked a similar path before us. 
  • 2 : Death is inevitable, following our gut should be too. Accepting that someday we’re going to die should give us the permission to truly live a life doing the things we want to do regardless of what people have to say about it. 
  • 3 : We’re the authors of our own book. We’re writing the script each and everyday and our script is unique and one of a kind. It’s okay that in the past we have allowed others to write part of our story for us but starting today and moving forward, we take back full responsibility of writing it ourselves.
  • 4 : Nobody has the answers. Some peoples opinions may be more trusted than others but we must still remember that they too may not even be fully correct

 

 

Challenge for the listeners 

  • Spend 10 minutes within the next 24hrs and consider are you living a life based on your choices or the choices of others? This can be a bit scary to think about but seriously take the time to really be honest with yourself. When it comes to career, financial decisions, dating, life experiences, what you do on the weekend etc… are you doing to because it’s what YOU truly want to do OR is it because it’s what everyone else wants you to do?
