Don’t Worry About What People Think

Why do you care about what people think of you so much more than what God thinks? As a result of this, because you also want to do God's will, but don't know how to prioritise, you compromise at the expense of your peace of mind and comfort.

First things first. Nobody else matters but you and your God. That is the first. Don't care about any person. Do you know why? Because most times, these opinions are not formed by Truth but based on complete lies and assumptions.

So how can you, the only person who knows the full Truth about you, be worried about someone else's opinion?

Secondly, it is time to finally let go of all your attachments to the things that are awarded by man- praise, recognition etc. OF all the people who tirelessly care for the homeless and the elderly, provide for those in dire need, how many times do you hear about such people getting the recognition that they deserve for the love shown towards their fellow man. Look at your world. Look at the most celebrated, the most popular, the most lionised. Can you name a single one of them that inspires a love for self and for others? Is this the kind of world from which you want recognition? Be wise and rise above all these trivial things. For indeed they are trivial.

Thirdly, look to God. Rest your eyes on Him and ask Him to fill you with HIS vision for you. SO that you can see it and be inspired. That is your problem- your inability to see the vision for your life beyond the academic and professional accolades. There is more, far, far, far, more, to you than that. For these things are nothing more than past times for you and that is the light in which you must see them.

Instead of all this confusion, self-doubt and uncertainty, focus on all that is in front of you right now and just be unafraid to be yourself. Don't remain in an unnecessary conflict with illusion. For that is all it is- not real. Become at peace with yourself and stop wondering how your life will go. Just live the life and it will go where you want it to go.

Know this. Sooner is better than later. The path now is easy for you. DOn't run away that you get so lost, it takes you on a difficult route to your destination.

A word is enough for the wise.
Worry no more
And just go with the flow
Enjoy your life
It is magnificent
