From the second we are born we are a product of Opinion. Of course our parents think we are the most beautiful lil thing they have ever seen. The doctors and nurses where probably looking at us like we where an ugly, wrinkled up, slimy lil thing. It’s amazing how people are effected by what people say or think about them. It’s all just an Opinion. Not everyone is going to think your pretty. Not everyone is going to like your body or hair color or even your skin color. It’s all their Opinion. That’s why you have to Love yourself. You have to hold yourself at the highest regard. Don’t let anyone’s Opinion about you make you feel negatively about yourself. Truth of the matter is, their negative Opinion is more than likely a reflection of their own personal insecurities. When someone complements you, and tells you that they like your outfit, or your hair and tell you that your pretty, it’s also their Opinion and that is what you have to realize. There is always going to be people on your side and there are always going to be people against you. It’s just the facts of life. You can’t please everyone… and that’s OK. It takes a strong person to not be effected by what other people think about them. It’s similar to peer pressure. When our peers are doing something that we may not particularly want to do. Somehow, sometimes we give in even though it’s not something we would normally do on our own. Opinions can change the course of your life. They can actually make or break you. When people are encouraging you to do something it’s their Opinion. When they are being negative about something that you are doing it’s their Opinion. How many peoples dreams do you think have been shattered by another persons Opinion? Caused by people filling their heads with negativity saying things like, that’s a dumb idea, no one is going to buy your product, you don’t have enough experience, you should do it this way, not that way, your not pretty enough. Etc. It’s so important to listen to your own heart and have confidence in what you are doing. You can’t listen to any negative Opinions that people have about you when you are doing your own thing and working toward your dreams. I’m sure people where telling the person who invented Crocs that they wouldn’t sell one pair. Saying who’s going to buy those ridiculous looking rubber shoes? Well, I’m sure the creator is laughing straight to the bank! What if they said, yeah your right It’s just a dumb idea, I’m not going to pursue it. They didn't let people's Opinion of their idea effect them. They had confidence in their product and saw the vision of where it could take them. No one is ever going to see your vision like you will. Not everyone is going understand your thought process, and that’s OK. There are more people out there that will get it, and Love what you are working on. If you’re a designer there will be people that don’t like your designs. You have to believe and know that there are people out there that will Love it. Don’t let some tell you “That design and color is so ugly, no one will buy it”. That is just their Opinion. I could go on and on and give many examples, but I think you get my point. Bottom line, don’t let that negative Opinion about you set in. If you let one person’s negative Opinion about your dreams set in, you may never fulfill your destiny. Love, Live, Give, More. <3
