The Mindset Junkie: Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business!

'Of course it is', might have been your first response to that statement but hear me out.

It was a coaching point I made to my Mindset Academy group in our weekly coaching call last week, the topic was on overcoming limiting beliefs.

People are entitled to their opinions on every matter including how they think about you, me and everything around us but it’s just that - an opinion.

Opinions are not facts and they certainly don’t need to be something you believe, especially when it’s about you.

People have their opinions of me, not all good but that’s okay. I can honestly say I don’t care. They come mostly from people I’ve never met or who don’t really know me so that’s okay with me.

The people I love and care for most matter to me. You can’t be everything to everybody, the world simply doesn’t work that way.

“People who want to be loved by everyone need to learn to love themselves first. Then and only then can you learn to be okay with having polarity in life especially around opinions of you.

There is polarity in all of life. Up, down, in out, positive, negative. So that means there will also be polarity of opinions. 'Don’t stress' is my advice. Stay focused and know that it’s okay. It’s an opinion not a fact!

A positive self image and a strong purpose and desire to be and do what you want to do in life can be the most powerful tool that keeps your mindset bullet proof.

When you learn to step up and serve those who you should be helping, you won’t get swamped in the lower levels of he said, she said nonsense.

I don’t have time for it as it sure as hell doesn’t help me move towards my goals faster, or the clients I mentor.

One of the biggest problems is people who automatically react to things that don’t serve them or let themselves get hot and bothered over trivial stuff, are usually never happy and fulfilled within themselves but if you are happy with who you are and your purpose then you won’t react to outside stimuli and when you don’t you have control of your destiny.

You control your own thoughts, feelings and behaviours by what you allow into your mind or what you don’t allow into your mind alternatively.

So choose wisely, stay focused, stay aware and remember... 'Other people’s opinions of you are none of your business!'
