What other people think of you is none of your business.
In The Tao Te Ching (500BC),
a work many consider the wisest book ever written,
there is a great line that goes like this:
“Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.”
And the truth of the matter is
that once you care about what others think of you,
and once you start chasing after their validation and approval,
taking everything other people say and do personally,
you immediately become their prisoner and their slave…
Don’t allow them to put you in that position.
Remind yourself constantly
that what people think or say about you,
is none of your business.
And that their negativity has little
or nothing to do with you,
but a lot to do with who they themselves are
