Why Care Waht They Think?

It is so amazon to me how we let other people's thought stop us from being great! What I mean is, as people we are so driven by what others think, it either motivates us or brings us to a screeching halt. If we don't get others approval, or even think that we don't have their approval, we end up quitting or not even starting. The question is, “Why?” Why do we even care what people think?

As I was reading Jeff Olson's book (Slight Edge), I came to the section of the book where he was sharing a sales experience he had. He expressed how he was bummed out about going to a sales meeting and failing horribly. As he sat in the parking lot before going in, he comes across a magazine article. The article goes over a statistic about funerals. It stated that at the average funeral, only 10 people cry and if it rains, you can count on only 50% of the attendees showing up to the precession. That is a big slap in the face! You mean to tell me, we waist a lifetime waiting for people to approve us and when we die, no one really cares?

When it is all said and done; it shows that our nature is pretty selfish. We aren't that into one each others' ideas, dreams and goals. So, why do we look to one another so much to approve them? If only a small number of people are going to cry at your funeral, Why Care What People Think? If half of the attendees are not going to show up to your burial precession because the weather is bad, Why Care What People Think? Good question to ask yourself right?

It's good to be encouraged and motivated by one another. We all need that from time to time. What we don't need, is our dreams and goals thrown in gutter because someone else doesn't agree with us. Everyone isn't going to see your vision or buy into your crazy dream/idea! You have to show and prove. When you do, you turn them all into believers in the end. So go for the no and make them wish they would have said yes!

Haven't found a home yet or looking? I would love to prosper with you!
