A common thought we have all had about one thing or another, that we have done, or didnt do, is what will (insert name here) think? The question we should be asking is what do I think? The only sure way to navigate through life is to have your own compass. Then, if you wonder if you are on the right track, making the right decision, you only have to refer to yourself. Ask for advice if you need it, but everyone should have their own clear values and principles regardless of what other people say. Actually, most of the people in ones circle of friends and family probably do have the same life values (we all agree it is not ok to steal, cheat, lie, etc). Therefore, judgement mostly comes from differences in opinion or taste or personal experiences that might not be relevant at all to your life. When you can judge your own actions for yourself, then you will feel comfortable with yourself in not only the good times but in the darkest of times or facing the hardest of decisions. Likewise, when you have a great accomplishment, enjoy others applause if it comes, but it should feel no less terrific to you whether others pat you on the back or not. So, as you make your next decision about whether to do or not do something, just be honest with yourself. What do you want in your life? You will get back what you give. Then, if you are secure in your decision, then trust yourself. If you know that what you are doing is best for you, it doesnt matter what other people think. From the book Im reading..dont live for other peoples approval.
