Shake It Off!- Monday's Ramblings

An opinion is a view or judgement formed about something not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

The older I become the better I get in differentiating an opinion from truth. As i wrote in one of my previous posts, people will always try to tell you the right way to live your life, as if they were you. I am learning to take on positive opinions, evaluate them and see if there is any truth in it and if there is not, throw it out!

Fact is when someone says they have a problem with the way you do things, you must recognise they are the ones with a problem. The problem is not yours! You have a choice to assist or decline help in solving their problem. In so far as whatever and however you are doing what you are doing does not affect anyone negatively, their sleepless nights should not be your problem.

Always evaluate yourself; If you believe they are right, then improve- Constructive criticism is good. However if after evaluating yourself you are confident you are doing what is right for you. The please let their opinion be their opinion. Leave it at that!
