I mean, don't forget that most people generally speaking are pretty negative and other people's negativity typically isn't personal most negative people. Negative not just to you but to just about everybody and be completely honest. It's how they get a response from people how they make themselves feel important. And even when the situation does seem personal even if someone is insulting you directly it usually is less to do with you and a lot more to do with them other people's opinions are 90% of the time based on their own self reflection. So rather than worrying about pleasing people who quite frankly will never be happy or be happy with themselves just be you and live according to you. Stop working so hard to please these people make me a promise make yourself a promise to just do what's right know what your intentions are be pure about that and be honest with yourself and treat other people the same way you would want to be treated. Of course. I apologize if you hurt someone and especially if you know that you did something wrong apologize and move forward, but I'll spend a moment thinking about other people's opinions of you if you know you're doing what's right and you're doing not only Right for you, but what's right based on your principles and in accordance with the way you want to live your life promised to spend far less time on people who spend all of their time criticizing others be aware and be careful not to spend too much time or energy on people who are stuck aren't doing much. They don't have the type of integrity and priorities and persistence in the direction that you have. Remember it's okay to laugh at your mistakes because you're going to make them so don't worry about people pointing them out for you. Don't worry about perfection. There isn't a perfect person. There's so much more power in humility. And there's great courage that can be found in vulnerability. And why do I say that because you've got to be open to who you are and the progress that you're making and that sometimes means being vulnerable and it's difficult to be vulnerable if we're always worried of what other people think if you show me someone who's consumed with what other people think I will show you someone who's stuck they are typically uncomfortable to be around they are difficult to Aquos and they are certainly not very inspirational. We are all human and it's really hard to do good things. If you don't feel good about yourself, even if you're perfect in every sense of the word there is going to be a handful of people that will still find fault with you period and of subject in all places that more obvious than on Facebook after admit that from time to time I get distracted by this to our brain can zero in on negative comments and negativity my friend. Dr. Michaela. Cerrano says quote the Reason why this is it's not because we're necessarily attracted to negative. But we look for negative as a way to protect ourselves and quote. In other words. Our brain looks for danger. Our brain looks for things that makes us susceptible and because of that our brains are conditioned to notice negative. It's one thing to notice negative. It's quite another to engage in it and to give it energy. So from time to time, I'll have a thousand really positive complimentary comments on Facebook and then one negative. Really means sometimes even cruel comment from just one person and not only will I find myself wanting to engage with this person, but I'll see everybody else starting to engage with this one person which as you can imagine gives it legs and then the conversation turns from whatever positive thinking we were talking about to just a negative debate don't give negativity a platform and don't give it energy and the same is true of those people in our Lives who do the same thing. They want to disagree with you. They want you to feel a judge. Because they just want attention from you. Even if it's a negative attention. Well don't give it to them because when you give it to them, it just grows stronger promise me that in the next 12 months, you'll recognize that negative energy grows when you give it attention. So take a deep breath. Delete it dismiss it and just ignore it. You just listen to The Post titled million-dollar Mantra number one.
