What Other People Think

Recently, I came across this very inspiring book called "Finding Your Strength In Difficult Times : A Book Of Meditations" by David Viscott.

I was particularly attracted to one of the topics in the book, which is What Other People Think.

So do you live your life always worrying about what other people think of you?

But what other people think is ONLY what other people think. Is it more important than what YOU think of yourself?

Other people are probably just as confused as you are, just as insecure, just as frightened, just as likely to make mistakes, to be envious, jealous or self deceiving, and therefore just as likely to distort what they hear and see.

In fact, I would say what other people think of you is really none of your business!

But if you must know what other people think, it has more to do with how they feel about themselves than how they feel about you.

Other people are probably wondering what you think of them. Now isn't that interesting!

So would you let other people control your life? Take back control by focusing on what you think of yourself. Because ultimately, that's all that really matters.
