Does It Matter?

Does it really matter? When you are enjoying your life, when you are doing what you are supposed to be doing, when you are living your life, when you are loving yourself, when you are making yourself happy, when you are trying new things, when you are not afraid to think for yourself, when you are reinventing yourself, other people’s opinions don’t matter.

But if other people’s opinions don’t matter, then why are we worrying ourselves about them? Why can’t we just live our lives without worrying about other people’s opinions? Why can’t we just keep going, keep going to places? We can, but we don’t. We can, but we won’t. Why is that? Because we want to fit in. We want other people to like us. If you have been doing it, stop it.

You can’t fit in and expect yourself to do great things. You can’t fit in and still live your normal life. You can’t fit in and still have the courage to think for yourself. Because fitting in is the same thing as just going with the flow. When you go with the flow, you are just doing what other people want you to do.You are just living the way they want you to live, to think. If you want to make a diffrence, you must learn how to question the flow. Before you go with the flow, question it. There is power in questioning. The more questions you ask, the more you will know about yourself, about your life, and about the people around you. Questions are good, not bad. If you have the courage to ask intelligent questions, why not?

If you want to get to the next level, if you want to make a difference, do not worry about other people’s opinions of you. Why? Because they don’t count. They don’t matter. Do they really matter?

If you want to know how you are spending your time, check how you are living your life. Life is time. Time is life. Here are 3 valuable lessons you can learn from TIME that can change how you live your life.

Time lost is time not used.

Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty.”- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

That is why you should enjoy every moment of your life. Because if you don’t enjoy it, it will never come back to you. Remember, you are not going to be here forever. For that reason, you must do whatever you can to live a full human life.

Stop chasing the past.

“You shouldn’t chase after the past or place expectations on the future. What is past is left behind. The future is as yet unreached. Whatever quality is present you clearly see right here, right there.”- Gautama Buddha

I can’t separate myself from my past. But if I want to go forward, if I want to do great things in my life, I MUST stop chasing the past. You can do the same for your own life.

Do not adhere to your past. Let it go.

“Those who adhere to the past won’t be able to cope with the future.”- Willy Brandt

Yes, your past is important, but do not live there. It is over. If you want to experience the future, you must detach yourself from your past. Do not let your past hold you back from living in the moment, in the Now. Because everything is happening right here, right now. Enjoy it!
