It's all just an Opinion.

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

Love always,

  1. it took people like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, The Wright Brothers, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Leonardo Da Vinci, Christopher Colombus etc to believe past what people thought or knew to be the way of the world. And they believed more of their dreams than people's OPINIONS... And these were the people who changed our world. Great Blog. (M.J.P) LOVE U ALWAYS. Thank god I didn't listen to the negative opinions about a girl I grew to know because she turned out to be my first love.

  2. Absolutely! I love when people like to stand up for themselves, when they do what THEY want to do. You should be controlling your own fate, and not anyone else. Your dreams are your dreams, made for you to pursue and no one else can take that away if they don't like them.

  3. 'Opinions' is a very interesting topic. You're always influenced by opinions of others. You will always care of what others say. Even the ones saying they don't care what others say about him/her. No one can forget others opinions about him-/herself. It's always on our minds. Sometimes more,sometimes less. But you mustn't live the way you would impress your 'friends' most if you don't feel comfortable this way.
    You always have to be yourself. In everything you do and say. Don't pretend to be someone you obviously are not. You won't fulfill your destiny.

  4. I absolutly agree with you, what else I can say? Everyone has theyre own opinion and I think it´s good, becouse world will be boring, if all of us liked the same thing, the same music, the same clothes,.... we all are unique in our own ways.
    everyone want´s to feel ok in theyre body, so I don´t udge people, becouse they have green,blue or pink hair colour etc.
