Importance of not allowing ourselves to be limited by other people's opinions
What is advisable in life from a personal perspective is to seek to have different criteria in every aspect that we face, that is to say that not everything is seen in a linear or punctual way, since not all things always have a single causal, but the cause ends up becoming a set of causes so it is convenient to evaluate everything from a set of perspectives.
Knowing different paths implies being wise and knowing how to listen to other people's opinions, however such wisdom must go beyond the boundaries of limitations, that is to say, other people's negative opinions about us should not be a limiting factor or end up affecting us in our personality or objectives, the ideal would be to use the opinions of others as a guide to generate a balance between our own criteria and what others think, but always giving more weight to what we think based on our own philosophy of life.
There can be many opinions, and they can really help us to orient ourselves, however the final decision is always going to have to be made by ourselves, and it would be very harmful to make a decision that is not based on our interests in life, but in the end we let ourselves be influenced by the opinions of others and end up making a decision biased by external influence, which in many cases can come wrapped with a lot of bad intentions.
What I think is that it is very normal that many of us go through this indecision of not wanting to go against the opinions of a society that has become accustomed to share everything, from the most personal to general issues, always by nature we seek to be accepted by groups or communities that put as a condition that we accept their way of thinking, But it is there where we must differentiate between taking advice and being puppets of the opinions of another person, above all things must always prevail a personality with character where decision making is based on our own opinions and our own criteria without fear of rejection by others.
Well, self-love and positive thinking come into mind here. Once the negative words of other start getting to you. you will find it hard to move ahead in life
Hello dear @sandracarrascal, certainly we must cultivate our own criteria of course without being defensive but always evaluating the pros and cons of any proposal or advice, as you say without being afraid of rejection or what they will say.
See you later, have a great week.
We surely need to be strong on our own, during the process of chasing our dreams, people will constantly have something negative to say, but if we choose to believe more in ourselves, it will become attainable to achieve whatever we set our hearts to do.
