Own your opinion

You have to stand up for your beliefs, stand up for your decisions, go with your gut and don’t let other people’s opinions force you to do something you don’t truly want.

It’s not always easy. People will disagree with you, will blame you for the results, try to push you down. So you have to be strong, be very sure of who you are and what your values are. You have to be certain of what made you take that road and understand that even if the outcome is not as you expected is still better that you follow your heart.

There will be opinions on everything, absolutely everything! From what you wear to what you think, from what you say to what you do and no matter how much you try, you’ll never be able to please everyone. So you better just go ahead and be true to yourself, at least if it doesn’t go as you planned you know you’ve tried, you’ve gave it your best and you’ve done it your way. It’s always easier to speak after the events have happened, when you have all the time and are aware of the consequences. It’s always easier to make a choice when you’re not emotionally involved.

So take relevant people’s opinions on board but don’t take criticism too serious. Don’t take yourself too serious. You’re bound to make mistakes. It’s life. So think it through the best you can with the information and the time you have on hands. Follow your instinct and just go with it. No second thoughts. Just do your best and let it go.
