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.

Stop Dwelling On Mistakes: Celebrate Growth Opportunities

Mistakes happen. We are human beings. We make mistakes. Because we are human beings.

If we don’t make them, we won’t learn. They are our teachers. If you really want to learn, then you must pay attention to your mistakes.

They are not here to kill you. They are here to make you better. But make sure you learn from them. Do not waste any opportunity to learn from your mistakes.

If we are really serious about learning about ourselves, about those around us, and about the world, learning from our mistakes is the way to do it.

When it happens, don’t cry over it. Celebrate it. Do not let it define who you are. Because you are not your failures.

Look, if you have been dwelling on your past failures, you must stop it. It is not the way to go. In the words of Bob Goff, ‘God doesn’t bookmark our failures. He celebrates our attempts.’

If you want to make a difference in your life, do not dwell on your past failures.
