What if...? The only opinion that matters is your own
Why do we allow the opinions of others to influence us? Their advice should always be regarded but then use it as a guiding post only.
We are all born with a gut instinct, the inner voice that tells us when something is either in our best interest or not. You might experience it as an inner heaviness when around people that literally drain your energy or a boost of energy around people that you enjoy spending time with.
These sensations are also there when we sense danger, when we are presented with an opportunity that our ego thinks we should take but our heart would prefer that we don’t.
Somewhere along the lines of life, we stopped listening to this instinct, preferring to listen to the opinions of those around us. This now even extends to influencers on social media. It’s time to question if any of these people really know you… do they wake up with your thoughts, your ideas, your worries each morning. Do they walk in your shoes every moment of every day. No, they don’t. So how could they possibly know what is best for you, in your life? They don’t.
Perhaps it’s time to start listening to and trusting your own instincts to lead you forward in life. It is your life after all.
