You Can’t Control Others’ Perception of You

You can try, and you probably have tried, and that makes two of us. However, at the end of the day, the only person we can control is ourselves.

While we can control the positions we put ourselves in at times, we cannot control others, especially the way they view us. You could be the best version of yourself, and others are always going to have opinions and different perceptions.

If you have been stuck striving to please others, wanting others to like you, or doing your best and not feeling like you are enough, be still.

For just one moment, imagine the relief you’d feel if you let go of how others thought of you. What would I do differently if I didn’t care what others thought about me? How would I go about my day differently if I stayed committed to myself? Where would I be or who could I become if I acted on my passions and desires and carried them to fruition?

I encourage you to start small and begin leaning into your true self without thinking of what others may think of you.

One step at a time!
