Become independent of the Good opinion of Other People
We are all different
For me the “penny dropped” they day I said to myself: Is someone elses opinion of me more important than my opinion of me?
For me, the answer was NO. In other words, as long as I feel RIGHT about me, then why should I CARE about what other people think of me.
We only have control over our own thoughts, our own opinions. We can’t control and should not want to control other peoples opinions – so frankly it is an impossible task to try and consistantly be “held in good opinion” by others.
I also realised that in life being HAPPY was more important that being “right” in the opinion of other people.
By the way, I do CARE and respect the opinion of a good number of people people, it is just the case that I do not run my life to seek their approval.
Love and respect yourself first and the love and respect of others will follow.
Peace and love

Hi,
I like and agree with your video, deriving your self esteem from yourself is important.
I created a self development video here
http://www.wikijoy.com I am planning several more
I would love to get feedback and ideas for viewership, it is not a commercial thing, just my desire to help and make a difference for people with depression and people that are suicidal.
Thanks
Saul
