Stop Worrying About What People Think

I’m always amazed at the wasted time, effort and energy people spend worrying about what others think.  It really is a huge waste of time and energy.  I’m not encouraging people to be oblivious and lose their sense of self-awareness…  I’m simply saying Stop Worrying About What People Think.

The reality is people don’t care that much, because they generally spend too much time worrying about themselves to worry about you. The more time you spend worrying about what people think and trying to be a people pleaser, the more you lose your sense of identity and God created uniqueness.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. ~Dr. Seuss

Do You!  It’s a statement, not a question.

    You address this correctly Scott, it drains us of potential and momentum when we stop and ponder what people are going to think about this or that. If our heart is right, if we are sensitive to what God wants and love people, it’s a green light.
    “Those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.”

    I really need to hear this more often. I care WAAAYYYY too much about what other think of me. And honestly, I think its because I am too hard on people so I feel the amount of judgement is returned.

      Thank for the comment. The don’t care attitude is not an “I don’t care” but it’s sure a great place of freedom. Nice blog BTW.
