Late last week, I caught this great tweet by Frank Schilling, who said:
“If you knew how little people thought about you – you wouldn’t worry what people think of you.”
The average human brain engages itself in a variety of thoughts daily; thousands of electrical pulses occur to facilitate the formation of a single thought or concept.
Unless one is an obsessive/compulsive individual suffering from some form of mania, the sheer amount of thoughts and their evolving paths almost guarantee that very few thoughts extend beyond several milliseconds.
In that sense, one’s actions, strategy, modus operandi and driving force should not depend on what other people think, simply because the collective force of those thoughts – negative or not – do not amount to anything.
Outside criticism is irrelevant; when it comes down to what truly matters, introspective is the best navigator. A person’s experience in life arrives by venturing on an exploration of the unknown and the uniqueness of their voyage.
Next time someone attempts to derail you from your chosen path, you can safely treat their opinion as a temporary flicker on your life’s radar. The final choice, much like everything else in life, is yours.
Thanks Acro!
Not all outside criticism is irrelevant, yeah if it’s derailing you from your chosen path then you could skip that.
