Other people’s opinions are weather reports. Worth checking, not worth canceling your plans over.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

What somebody thinks of you is information about the sky, not an order about your day. It tells you something real, since weather is real, and it is also changeable, local, and often wrong by afternoon. Ignoring every forecast is how you get soaked. Rebuilding your whole life around one is how you never leave the house.

When a comment lands hard, separate the part you can use from the part that is just their mood. Carry the usable part into your next attempt. Then go do the thing you were already planning to do.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Whose opinion made you cancel plans you actually wanted?
