What People Think about You

how do we deal with what people think about us there is a saying what people think about you it is literally none of your business have you ever been in a scenario that you really wanted to express yourself and wanting to say something but you're just so concerned how people are going to react or maybe you want to get on a stage, speak, dance, or perform I don't know what your case is but here's what I need you to know despite how presentable you look and how much hard work you have put into this craft of yours day after day, once it's out there get ready there's always going to be minority of people who belittle you, degrade you and criticize you and if you really think that you're not ready to face that it's time for you to get really curious because if you don't deal with that get passed by it you will you just live in a life under their terms but once you understand that you can take that wasted and energy and distribute it towards the majority of people who can actually benefit from your contribution and the reason these people do what they do it's because every single time that you have a courage to put yourself out there you trigger something in them that it reminds them of their own lack of ability to walk their own dreams it's like to do something for my dreams but haven't done anything about it, so they get triggered and what happens it projects out a negative form and what you perceive is not the truth it's just a realization for them that they haven't done anything for their dreams and I want you to think about the greatest leaders in the world like dr. King, Mahatma Gandhi and and Dalai Lama these leaders they were facing dictatorship and imagine if these people they would for one moment allow those nonsense get into them they would have never accomplished what they accomplished they would wake up every morning and they would say all right today I'm gonna walk my misson despite my attachment to when and how it's going to happen because they know that the truths will always prevail and my friend please believe in your ability that you have something to give and to contribute despite how it looks like on the surface right now just a matter of time you will get there and let me finish with really cool story of Socrates one day one of his disciple walks in and it goes hey Socrates do you know what people say about you and think about you and Socrates immediately interrupted and he goes like stop before you say anything why don't we filter your thoughts through three sieves the first sieve is the sieve of truth, are you sure what about to tell me is true no I just heard it the second sieve is the sieve of good are you about to tell me something good no the opposite in the last sieve is the sieve of usefulness do I really need to hear about this no it's not necessary well then worry about to tell me it's not true, good or necessary why bother telling me at all listen to your heart follow with intelligence and always always speak the truth
