New Year, New You

I’m feeling spicy! I haven’t been controversial or inappropriate lately and feel like I need to change that. Before the new year, I released the blog 20 keys to success for 2020. This blog I want to focus on #5 - Don’t worry about what other people think. 

That’s right - SCREW PEOPLE…not literally. That causes divorce and disaster…unless you’re married. Then apply. I’m joking…kind of. 

What I mean by screw people is … don’t let anyone else define you. Like I’ve said before - every person in the world that “knows” you thinks of you through their own interaction and perspective. One person catches you on a great day. Another person catches you on the day you forgot to wash your hands after cleaning your child's blowout and you notice right before you shake their hand. So you do what any normal person does when they want to give up on the day before it’s even 9am - you wipe it off on the nearest piece of furniture and pretend to be engaged in meaningful small talk. 

There are very few people who actually know you. And even those people who really know you still have different interactions and perspectives of your life. So relax, let’s conquer today by choosing a great attitude. Because at the end of the day, nothing and no one can tell you how to respond to life. Only you can. You can respond negatively or positively and unfortunately, those are your only two options. It’s time you no longer give in to the critics or negative voices and opinions about who you are or what you’re made of. You are a child of God even on the days you want to flick off every driver on the road. It’s time you no longer give people that don’t know you anymore mental real estate than you already have. 

So go create! Who cares what people think. Who cares if it sucks in 10 years. It should suck in 10 years. You should look back when you’re killing the game and be embarrassed of your initial projects.

So go get help! Who cares what people think. Who cares that you need to bounce your thoughts off of someone else. Who cares that others may think you’re weak or lame. They secretly need help too. How do I know? BECAUSE WE ALL NEED HELP!

So go relax! Unplug for an hour, or a minute, or however long it takes you to remind yourself who you are. 

You’ll never do anything great with your life while worrying about what other people think.
