I know that sounds harsh, but this week’s blog talks about this very concept.
Don’t give your personal power to someone so they can make you feel bad, or sad, or nervous. They will have their lens, but stay strong in your truth!

I agree with you, we just cannot appease each and everyone,
we need to concentrate on our needs..
Yes Shasheta. I really believe that we need to make sure we are in tip top shape and then (and only then) can we truly serve others. It is not out job to appease everyone, but to be strong, consistent and full of integrity within ourselves.
It is so true this post. We tend to assess people and anything on our values. It follows that they assess you according their values. I let last year stop me doing a lot of things some people in FB that could not cope with my debating skills (without insulting) and persecuted me for months. I actually let them stop me carrying on with my online ventures. Then in August I started my weight loss blog and truly I did not care what they thought about my “fat” pictures.
You are so right it is empowering.
Well done Liliana. You are sharing (and serving) through your blog and your experience. How they deal with the information is up to them, but stay strong to your mission.
Totally agree about staying strong in your truth! Sometimes it does bother me when people think negative thoughts about me, but I don’t let it change me.
The more anchored in your truth and your mission the easier it will become to let go of their perception. Besides, you have bigger and better things to spend your time on, like living your truth! 🙂
Great advice. It important to ask if our reaction to someone is about us or about them. If it is about “us” then what do we want to do about it? If it is about them, then it is their problem not ours.
Thank you Heather! Great summation! I love the idea of reflecting upon the reaction to determine if the issue lies with us (in which we then know we possess the power to address that issue) or if it lies with them (in which they can carry that load – it is not ours to carry).
I’m loving this! I think a lot of people need to hear this message! I agree. We can all be worried what others think of us but it all goes back on them. There is personal growth we all need to get through 🙂
Very true Jill! We are conditioned to give more credence to what others are thinking about us than really being anchored in what we are saying in the first place! I am glad you enjoyed the post!
