People worry more about their own mistakes than yours. Many people aren’t spending much time thinking about that ‘mistake’ you think you made and have been worrying about.
Ask yourself what matters to you – be clear and honest with yourself. It’s okay to have different values from the people around you.
“Strength comes from within and the people you surround yourself with. So make sure you have the right people around you”.
Summer Holiday Project #5: Do something for someone else each day, for nothing in return, and keep an activity log. Note down the feelings you have after completing a task.
Everyone evaluates situations using their own personal experience and criteria. Respect their decision and ask what they used to make their conclusion.
If you need to ask for help, instead of deciding if you think they’ll help or not, ask and give them the opportunity to decide for themselves.
Other people’s thoughts – good, bad or indifferent – are their own. Enjoy your own life to the full; you can’t please everyone all of the time, and there’s no need to try to.
Accept that you can’t control what other people think. You’ve no idea what might go through their head, or why; everyone responds differently.
Other people might judge you for not meeting up to their standards – but if you’re true to your own goals and values, then you know you’ve got your priorities right.
Whatever someone did to you in the past has no power over the present. Only you give it power.
