Are They Really Thinking About You?

‘The only person thinking about if other people are thinking about you is you?’- Lia Garvin

No, they are not. They are not thinking about you. They are not after you. They are not after what you are doing. They are not after where you are. They are not after your failures, your mistakes. They are not.

Get over it. Do not dominate your life with other people’s opinions of you. Do not focus on what people are saying about you. It is not going to help you. It is going to hold you back from actually taking care of your life.

Do not waste your energy. It takes a lot of energy to think about what others are thinking about you. What if they are not thinking about you? What if they are just doing their own things? What if….?

Live your life. Focus on what is on your plate. Focus on what you are doing. Do not focus on what is not even happening. If you think other people are thinking about you, you are the one.

Living Your Real Life

Living your real life, your true life, is not about being perfect.

Living your real life is not about trying to beat the other person.

Living your real life is about discovering your true self. It happens when you are alone.

Self-discovery does not happen when you are with other people. It happens when no one is praising you, when no one is with you.

It happens when you are alone, when you are reflecting on your failures, on your mistakes.

It happens when you are true to yourself, when you are willing to face your demons, no matter what.

It happens when you have the courage to live with yourself, when you have the courage to face yourself, when you have the courage to say, ‘No matter what is going on in my life, I will never give up.’

You can say it. To say it really well, you have got to have the courage to live your real life.
