Don't let other people's opinions dictate your happiness from "summary" of Calm the F*ck Down by Sarah Knight
When you allow other people's opinions to dictate your happiness, you're essentially handing over the keys to your emotional well-being. You're saying, "I can't be happy unless you approve of me." But here's the thing - you can't control what other people think or say. Their opinions are their own, colored by their own experiences, biases, and insecurities. So why would you give them the power to determine how you feel about yourself?It's important to remember that you are the only person who gets to decide how you feel about yourself. You are the only one who truly knows who you are, what you want, and what makes you happy. So why would you let someone else's fleeting opinion overshadow your own truth? Why would you let someone else's approval or disapproval define your self-worth?
When you start prioritizing other people's opinions over your own happiness, you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of discontent. You're constantly chasing validation, seeking external approval to fill a void that can only be filled from within. But the truth is, no amount of praise or criticism from others will ever be enough to make you truly happy. True happiness comes from within, from knowing and accepting yourself for who you are, flaws and all.
So the next time you find yourself getting caught up in what other people think, take a step back and ask yourself, "Is this their truth or mine?" Remember that their opinions are just that - opinions. They do not define you or determine your worth. You have the power to choose how you feel about yourself, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Don't let others dictate your happiness. Take back control and live your life on your own terms.
