Let them think what they want.
In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that can feel a little scary: letting people have their own opinions about you—even if those opinions are negative. It’s totally okay for people to think whatever they want, and today, I’m going to show you how you can be confident no matter what others think!
Here’s what we’ll cover:
* Why it’s okay for people to have negative thoughts about you (and why it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you)
* How letting go of the need for everyone to like you can set you free
* Practical tips for feeling confident, even if you’re worried about being judged
* How to focus on being yourself and stop worrying about what others think
If you’re ready to feel more confident and less stressed about judgment, this episode is for you! Tune in and let’s dive into how to let go of the fear of other people’s opinions and start living your best life.
Let Them Think What They Want
One powerful mindset shift is learning to let others think what they want about you. It’s liberating to realize that their thoughts are theirs to own, and you don't need to control or defend them. People’s opinions are often influenced by their own biases, experiences, and projections, so worrying about what others think is like carrying someone else’s baggage. When you stop seeking approval and start embracing your authentic self, you free yourself from unnecessary stress and judgment. In doing so, you step into a space where your worth isn't determined by external perceptions but by your own values and beliefs. Let them think what they want—it’s their perspective, not your responsibility.
* What they think is not your business.
* What they think doesn't actually matter.
* What they think is not something you can control. (It's foolish to believe we can manipulate people as much as we think we can).
* What they think can change at any time.
People Are Focused on Their Own Stories, Not Yours:
Most people are consumed with their own lives, insecurities, and narratives. While they may form opinions about you, those opinions are more about them than about you. People interpret situations through the lens of their own experiences, so their judgment is rarely a true reflection of who you are. When you understand this, it becomes easier to let their thoughts roll off your back.
You Can't Please Everyone:
No matter what you do, there will always be someone who doesn’t agree or doesn’t understand. Trying to please everyone is an impossible task. When you let go of this unrealistic goal and focus instead on staying true to yourself, you unlock the freedom to pursue your goals and values without fear of criticism. Remember, not everyone needs to like you for you to be worthy of success and happiness.
Focus on Growth, Not External Judgments:
If you constantly care about what others think, you can lose sight of your own growth and potential. Letting go of the need for approval allows you to shift your focus from others’ opinions to your own personal development. You can embrace challenges, take risks, and evolve into the person you are meant to be without fear of judgment holding you back.
