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.

The Cost Of Being True To Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

Nothing is free. ‘Everything comes with a price.’ Life comes with a price. Success comes with a price. Peace comes with a price. Growth comes with a price. Love comes with a price. Relationships cost something. Because nothing is free. Even your own growth is going to make some people unhappy. Because you are going forward. It is going to happen. But do not focus on what other people are saying about your life.

If you can just focus on what you are doing, if you can let go of people who are working day and night to bring you down, if you can trust yourself, if you can find your own way in your life, if you can trust your way, if you do not allow other people’s negative comments to distract you, if you can manage those who are not happy with you, if you can stop trying to please everybody, then you are being true to yourself.

No matter what is going on in your life, being true to yourself is the best way to go. Do not lie to yourself. Do not put yourself last. Do not try to make everyone your friend. Do not try to apologize for your success. Be proud of your failures. Because they made you who you are today.

But life comes with a price. Are you willing to pay it?
