Chapter 7: I Know You Are But What Am I?
by jedda · 18 things on Twos
- The only questions you ever need to consider when making decisions about your life are
- Is this something I want to be, do, or have?
- Is this going to take me in the direction I want to go (not should go)?
- Is this going to screw over anybody else in the process?
- Find a tribe that is more your style.
- You could not only wind up doing what you love surrounded by people you adore who you actually relate to, but you might one day realize you can no longer remember the names of the people who’s approval you so desperately thought you would die without.
- ⭐️ You are responsible for what you say and do. You are not responsible for whether or not people freak out about it.
- What other people think about you has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them.
- If you base your self-worth on what everyone else thinks of you, you hand all your power over to other people and become dependent on a source outside of yourself for validation.
- “All that matters is what’s true for you, and if you can stay connected to that without straying, you will be a mighty superhero.”
- How to truly not care what other people think and how to be your most powerful self:
- Ask yourself why: why are you about to say or do something? Pay attention to your motivation. Practice coming from a place of integrity and you will be victorious.
- Always on your best: no matter what it is, if you do the absolute best you possibly can, and come from a place of integrity, then you can be proud of yourself and not give a damn what anyone else thinks.
- Trust your intuition: you have an incredible, inner guidance that you can use whenever you need it. Practice sharpening your intuition, take the time to strengthen your connection to Source Energy, and trust that you know what’s best for you.
- Find a temporary role model: find a mentor or a role model. Get clear on why this person is impressive and inspiring to you, and when faced with a challenge that leaves you guessing how to react, ask yourself: What would my hero do?
- Not caring what others think can take some time to build up, so use this trick while you’re still getting strong, and before you know it, you’ll be able to ditch your hero and start asking yourself: what would I do?
- Love Yourself: no matter what anyone else thinks.
- There is such a thing as constructive criticism or compliment from people we trust. Sometimes it’s easier for other people to see what we can’t see ourselves, so if they can help us connect with our truths and live happier, more authentic lives, then it’s worth taking the time to listen.
