HOW TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE CURSE OF PEOPLE'S OPINION.
An idea hits you, you are excited.
You spend the next few days thinking about it and giving it flesh.
Then you tell someone, and they go:
'Nah, this ain't it. This idea will fail.'
You get discouraged and kill it.

You've lived your life in shame, isolation and low self-esteem. It started the day someone told you you were ugly and fat.
Ever since then, you've seen yourself as a pariah of sort.
Everyone, I mean, everyone has been a victim of people's opinions and your current
Ever since then, you've seen yourself as a pariah of sort.
Everyone, I mean, everyone has been a victim of people's opinions and your current
situation is as a result of what you have come to accept as your reality.
You need to break out of it and I'll try to show you how in this thread.
Two key words you need to keep in mind are
Belief & Conviction.

Two key words you need to keep in mind are
Belief & Conviction.
Based on beliefs and convictions, there are three kinds of people
In the world:
1. Those that know what they want, believe they will get it and most importantly, are CONVINCED.
This Conviction makes them follow through with their decision, regardless of what anyone says.
2. People who know what they want, believe they can get it but are/

This Conviction makes them follow through with their decision, regardless of what anyone says.
2. People who know what they want, believe they can get it but are/
/not yet CONVINCED about it. They usually seek validation from others so they can be convinced.
Many people fall into this category.
You are likely here.
The problem here is that people in this category end up seeking validation from people in the next group

3. People who are clueless about what they want. They suspect everything and doubt everything. They are professional critics.
They don't believe in themselves and so are angry and irritated by people who have beliefs.
They are professional fault-finders, insecure in themselves.

The paradox of life is that many of us usually seek validation from such people.
Intelligent people always listening to the opinions of people who are so clueless they couldn't even think up an idea of their own.
Many dreams have died because you listened to the wrong persons

How then do you break this CURSE?
How do you die to public opinion and protect your dream?
There isn't a 'sure way to glory' but these fundamental truths will help you:
1. You have to know who you are.
If you do not know who you are, people will give you an identity

There isn't a 'sure way to glory' but these fundamental truths will help you:
1. You have to know who you are.
If you do not know who you are, people will give you an identity
that fights against your future. Know who you are and be unapologetic about it.
Be unapologetically you!
2. Know what you want and go for it.
There are choices no one should make for you. Learn to demand from life what you want and be dead CONVINCED about it.
Be unapologetically you!

3. Realise that you have ONLY ONE LIFE.
Not two.
Not three.
Life is not a video game where you are super Mario and you get to have 7 lives to play with.
You've got one.
And hear this: everyone has one!
The people trying to tell you how to live your life haven't even lived/

There's a reason you have a unique finger print. Live your life. You've got one.
4. Love yourself... First!
Don't even tell me you love others when you haven't accepted yourself.
That's bullocks.
You have to love yourself. Love your life.

Don't love someone else when you haven't loved yourself.
5. Trust yourself.
Your hear some persons say: "how can I trust you when I don't even trust myself.'
That is stupid.
The fact that you make decisions everyday is proof that you trust yourself.
Your decisions simply/

If you always wait for people to decide for you, its because you don't trust yourself enough to do the right thing.
It's okay to sample the opinions of people, but sometimes, screw their opinions.

6. "Be careful what you accept from people because you are teaching them how to treat you"
I borrowed this quote from @andy_mukolo
See, people will treat you the way you teach them to.
If they realise you do not respect yourself, they will not respect you.

If they realise you do not respect yourself, they will not respect you.
If they realise you sent firm in making decisions, they will always choose for you.
If they see that you are loose and undisciplined with money, they will always come to collect and make you spend.
You must make it clear what you accept and what you don't accept.

All these things Tues back to your belief and Conviction.
Do you believe you deserve a better life?
Are you CONVINCED that you will succeed with that idea, come what may?
If you can settle your level of belief and Conviction, you will die to public opinion.
You will develop

You will develop
thick skin that will make you imperious to the dream-destroying opinions of others.
Start priming your belief and convictions today and watch yourself become unstoppable.
Do have a great weekend.
