The things people say are as personal as the clothes they wear, the car they choose to drive to work, the color of their house, the woman they picked to marry or the way they pick an old classic car. Timeless and classic is what makes life fun. Just like your opinion is your own and God knows, I'm sure you don't have all the answers and if you think you do, it's just your opinion. It's kind of you guys to give people the benefit of your doubt, which is just another way of saying, it's your opinion. I have to constantly remind myself to consider the source. In other words, do I think you're earned the right to offer us your criticism or should I say, are you someone to be admired or even respected. This is like people who smile to your face and then tear you down behind your back, or those who undermine you directly under the guise of constructive criticism or just trying to help. Playing this game is simply a reflection of your own lack of self compassion or maybe self worth. By putting the focus on someone else, and what they think you did wrong, they can take the focus off of themselves, and their own defects in character. Putting someone down, elevating themselves to a position of power. People who attempt to gain power by diminishing others, do it because they don't feel powerful in their own lives. This unsolicited, negative criticism is only meant to hurt someone's feeling and lend an opportunity to give your opinion. Now we're back to the beginning, smell what I'm saying. As sure as I am, there will always be death and taxes, there will always be people like this in our lives. Trying to please all people all of the time is a surefire setup for disappointment. We're all on our own separate journey, we just need to stay in our own lane. We Trust that we are doing the best we can for ourselves and most importantly, NEVER let another's lack of security steal your own. No matter how justified other people believes it to be, it's just their opinion and thank God I chose the path I'm on, because being you, isn't near as fun as being me. Now, that's not just my opinion, that's a fact, but then again, it's just my opinion. This statement was told to me by a licensed phycologist and I'm sure if you could afford 200 dollars an hour, you wouldn't need us to make yourself feel better.
Before you say something about this licensed phycologist, be careful about lending your opinion on her, my blood is hers. She cringes when I say this, but now, go blow a dead fish...................... She's still working on me, I may be hopeless, but at least I'm kind and giving to others. That last part was just my opinion, you know, the kind and giving part.
