I can't hear you no more!
'A lion doesn't bother itself with the opinions of a sheep'
Easier said than done. Isn't it. More often than not we are caught in a never ending loop of other people's opinions and expectations of us. We beat ourselves up by preoccupying our minds with the judgements of others.
When we are born, our mind is clean as a new slate. As we grow up, many people who come in our contact on a daily basis start putting words into our subconscious mind. "You are stupid", "Dumb", "Ugly", " Idiot", "Good for nothing" and on and on and on.
As a child, we can't differentiate between what is true and what is false. Our personality then gets etched on the earlier clean slate and we start perceiving it as real. The same pattern translates into adulthood.
Many a times I get hurt and offended when someone puts a negative label on me. Mostly because part of me perceives it as truth since I was never taught to clean my mind slate, to un label myself.
We need to clean our mind slate daily. The moment someone puts a label on you, you remove it, wipe it from your mind. I know it's tough but you have to remember one thing, whatever other person says about you is their opinion of you which certainly won't be true.
If you know your reality, you will not give importance to anyone's opinions. You should start writing your version of you on your slate. Don't let anyone else write a sub standard version of you. You are the master of your own destiny.
As we clean our body daily, we ought to clean our mind too. I have made a promise to myself to keep a selectively permeable mind. I am only going to absorb energies that are important for my self growth and discard anything which may hamper my journey towards self discovery.
Everyone is unique and everyone is different. Comparing yourself to someone else is an insult to you. You are much more worthy than you know. Be original, be YOU.
Don't forget to clean your mind slate daily!
Keep blooming!
