People Will Say.....

People Will Say.....

Everybody’s got something to say about what you do.

People you know, people you love, people you hate. Even people you’ve never met in posts like this one.

They tell you what to do, what to think, what you do right or wrong. How to be better, live your life, and further your career.

But none of the people who tell you what to do know what’s best for you and you should stop listening to them.

This is why.........

They don’t know you as well as they think they know you

They don’t know you as well as they think they know you

No matter how comfortable you are with yourself and how long you’ve known a person, they don’t know the real you. They know the version you choose to share with them which might be 80% of yourself, but it’s never 100%.

The advice they give you can only be as successful as the amount they know about you — the real you.

They tell you what they WANT you to do.

They tell you what they WANT you to do.

Even people with the best intentions are influenced by their own desires. They want you to be happy and successful, but in a way that fits their own definition of those terms.

And that definition may not match your own.

They tell you what they WOULD do.

They tell you what they WOULD do.

When people offer you advice, they base it on what they would do if faced with a similar dilemma.

But what they would do is based on who they are, not who you are. Their intentions may be pure, but the reasoning is often mismatched.

They’re jealous of you.

They’re jealous of you.

Not always. Not often. But sometimes.

It’s not pretty, but jealousy exists and it clouds the advice you get from certain people about certain situations.

They want you to change.

They want you to change.

Just because somebody loves you, it doesn’t mean they love ALL of you.

They may want to change something about you and that bias colors the advice they give you. But the thing they want to change about you may be a thing you love about yourself.

They DON’T want you to change.

They DON’T want you to change.

Other people may love you so much the way you are that they fear certain decisions you make will change you and that those changes could impact your relationship with them.

But it’s usually in your best interest to change, to evolve into more of the person you want to become and the life you want to have.

They’re not you.

They’re not you.

Ultimately, it comes down to this. You are the expert on you.

Nobody can know what’s best for you better than you can so trust your instincts, stop listening to other people, and own your own decisions.

You’ll be glad you did.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
