If you will care about what other people think, then you can never be happy..

Good day fellow mylotters,
I was reading an inspirational article this morning and when I have finished reading it, I noticed that there is a tag line at the bottom, written as "if you will continuously care about what other people will say and think, then you can never live and be happy with your life". That when I saw and read that line, I was really fascinated. Hence, that tag line somehow speaks on me. That, because of my love and concern to my family, I have redirected my career path. But that redirection was gone nowhere since my family turn their backs to me. So now, I am starting to reconstruct my life again.

True indeed.If you always care about what others think and say how they make judgement about you and if all that effects you in any way then how will you be ever happy.You will always be walking on the footpaths of others judgement and criticism and never be able to be yourself.

Yes your right when you listen and always think about what people think you wont be happy.People are their to watch you and some are jealous on you,whether you are good enough they still find the bad things about you.So for me I dont think about them,I dont feel anypain in my body when they dont like me.As long as i'm happy with what i do,i will still do it.

So this explains why i see many chubby ladies wearing super micro-mini skirts, men growing their hair either long or afro-kinky, old men dating young ladies...
In the article that you mentioned, did the writer say that this is principle is applicable in everything?

I find that quote so familiar, anyway, Perhaps it is correct. All my life I've been thinking others, I mean, I've been so conscious on what would be their reaction towards me. I think I should stop on what other thinks of me. Besides Happiness is our choice.

I truly believe in this tag line. I hear different opinions about me from many people. Most of them were really bad and I am curious where do they get those since I am not always going out and they don't see me as often. I dont' mind with they say because it is no big deal. They are just trying to bring me down wherein they are in position right now.

Hi aira!
You made some sacrifice for your family. I know it's not your choice. I'm sorry to hear about what happened that your family turned their backs on you.
This is true indeed my friend. Before, i was like that, i care about what other people say and think about me, but what the heck, i have my own life to drive. I have low self-esteem before, because i always mind what other people think of me. But now, i grew up and have confidence. I don't have any regrets from where i am today.

that is true, really. whenever we always try to think about other's opinion of our OWN lives then how can we really be happy? of course it is ok to consider those people we love... but it does not make sense if everything we do, we would just always think of other people... after all if we do that, its like living someone;s life, someone's thinking, right?

Hello Aira, Indeed my friend because there's a lot of people who thinks that their opinions matter where in fact they are just ranting, and they cannot do what they said they want you to do. people don't know us very well, except for friends who have known each other for years.I don't know, i wish i could make a huge start of my life, i don't want to reach old age just to start all over again

Hi there airasheila..
That tagline is really true.I think it's happening to me now.I wanted to be satisfied with myself and the things that I do but some people seem to be dictating me of what I should do that results to me wanting things that I can never have and being insecure.I really hate it but sometimes I can't really avoid listening to them especially when they are your family.

hello,
Yeah, this is really fascinating because people can relate there feelings in here. I am concerned of other people say to me because for me it is really important if ever they have some bad compliment about me at least i will know. right? But sometimes I feel like everyone dont like me anymore because I always care of what they are saying. I should ignore them and be happy.

very true lines. This world is a selfish world and people will always try to degrade us. If we consider others people and if we keep on thinking about what other people say,we cannot live a happy life. We should listen to our words and heart. We should not bother about others. 85 percent people around us are selfish. If we really wants to be happy,we should not think what others think about us
