RE: Love Note To Self, Contributed by @Olawalium
Very detailed and nice, and this did it for me:
Caring for what others think of you is good, but it can end badly when you judge yourself from the minds of these people.
Yes, caring for what people say means we are open to learning and should never eat so deep into us that we lose every sense of appreciation for who we are. No one is perfect and we should always seek to learn, and we should feel good about the experiences those lessons are giving us. We need to know that we will make mistakes, but we should always strive to be better. When some make mistakes, they feel they can never amount to anything, because all they see is their mistakes, but when they see the good parts about themselves, then they can have the strength to correct those mistakes and gain valuable experiences from them.
Thanks as always. Good one. :)
