People will judge and talk about you no matter what you do.
So often we hold ourselves back, from doing what we truly desire to do, out of fear of what others may think, say, judge about us Blah Blah Blah. You know what??
They will judge you! LET THEM
They will talk behind your back! LET THEM
Hell, they may even try and sabotage you! LET THEM
All you can do is choose to let them and let you do what you need to do to continue to live your life and strive for your future and dreams anyway.
YOU WILL DISAPPOINT PEOPLE THATS LIFE, DONT PLEASE THEM AND DISSAPOINT YOU!!!
Stop saying yes to things that want to say no to. NO. is a full sentence use it.
Stop putting you at the bottom of your to do list and move yourself up to the TOP.
Like on a plane you're told to put your mask on first before helping anyone else in an emergency....
DO THAT IN LIFE!!
Fill your own cup first you can’t help others if you're putting yourself last...
Start that business!
Apply for that other Job if you hate what you are doing now...
Do the course that you desire to do...
Plan your life as if you were planning a holiday its amazing what difference you can make and the things you can accomplish when you decide to Let them...
AND ALSO LET YOU.
Let you decide how to respond to others because there is also times people will do things that you will judge and you can choose to react or let them.
Let them make do the thing that you advised them not to do..
Let them be angry because you said no.
Let you choose you and what you deisre...
I remeber the first time I read Mel Robbins book THE LET THEM THEORY!
I first started looking back on all the times I held mysef back from doing what I desired to do out of fear and judgement for what others would say, and OMG I realised just how many opportunities I dismissed and didnt take out of fear of:
1. What would others think.
2. Fear of success of lack of success.
3. Fear of loosing those close to me as I evolve would we grow apart?
the list could go on forever....
One shift before I even finished the book was when my youngest daugher messaged me asking what time my partner finished work.. (he's a mechanic) and knowing she had been having lots of car issues, my first thought was that she was having more car issues, (she lives over 600 klm away).
After a few text messages either she called me or I called her and she advised me she had just been approved for a car loan, and how everyone has been telling her not to get finance, and go into debt.
Old me would have judged her also and given her a leture on interest rates. loan repayments, responsibility and why didn't you save some money first before going into debt. haha!
But the new me did this!
Me:
Congratulations!
What sort of car would you like?
Small one like you have now?
Medium size one like whay your sister is driving or one like mine (Honda CRV)
Youngest Daughter:
Medium I'll send you a picture of one I found on line.
Me:
Thats small like the MG's
what about a Honda HRV? they are like the CRVs just a little smaller like your sisters.
I then searched for a Honda HRV in carsales online and found a 2017 Honda HRV with less than 50klm on the clock and all service history.
shared it with her... and informed her i would get my partner to have a look in the evening...
Showed my partner that evening which was a Monday, youngest daughter test drove it Tuesday and picked it up Friday... excited and loving her new reliable car..
LET THEM
Let them make decisions and do what they believe they need to do for themselves....
People learn from their own decision right or wrong they won't learn from us telling them what they should or should'nt do..
Don't loose sleep over it!
LET THEM & LET YOU!
