How do you handle being judge
How do you handle being judged?
We live in a world surrounded with people who hold an opinion about everything. These opinions or judgements are often clouded with their own life experiences and personal struggles. Still we value these opinions more than our own belief about ourselves. We try to measure up to everybody's expectations and lose our own individuality.
Remember, there is nobody who knows you better than you, who truly understands your intent and capability the way you do. Do not let other's opinions affect you. Examine it objectively, search for truth, learnings if any, do not let that become your identity. When you pursue your truth, not everybody will understand you, stand by you, support you but what matters the most is you stand by yourself.
In my journey I have moved through the following stages-
- Accept opinions as that only and not as real truth.
- Examine them objectively for learnings, course corrections if needed
- Letting go of the need to give explanations or justifications
- Empathising with others, trying to understand why they hold these opinions.
Recently read a quote: "I am not what you think I am, you are what you think I am"
What is your identity?
