Happy Tuesday!
Today I want to address something that may be adding to the mental clutter of your mind.
A question that occupies your thoughts weekly, and for most people daily, and several times a day at that.
So let’s get to it then.
What do people think of you?
Here’s my answer:
I know the answer to that.
I know exactly what other people think of you.
Trust me on this one.
Ready for the answer?… (drumroll please)
They are NOT thinking of you at all!
People are only always thinking about themselves – they can’t help it.
We are a SELF-ish focused species… and frankly it makes sense.
Here is the definition of selfish: Devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one’s own interests, benefits, welfare, etc.
As the most dominant species to survive to this point, we’ve HAD to be this way!
That’s exactly how we got here.
Thus the only time people even consider you or talk about you is when you are affecting THEM (ego, pride, fear, envy, jealousy, whatever), which means it’s still about THEM, not you.
When we are 18 years old, we are in constant pain wondering what people think about us.When you are 40 you finally stop caring what people think about you.
Then at 65 you finally realize… NO ONE has been thinking about you at all – they have only been thinking about themselves.
That is so liberating!
You don’t have to wait until 65 to gain this wisdom – you have it NOW!
But now you need to LIVE it.
Action for today:
Whose opinion do you care about?
Your parents?
Your boss?
Your clients?
Your spouse?
Your kids?
Your alma mater?
Your neighbors?
Your friends?
Followers on Facebook or instagram ?
Write down three people.
Now realize whomever you wrote down IS NOT THINKING ABOUT YOU…
Except how you make them look or feel.
In any case, it’s not you – it is THEM.
Ahh, feel better?
Better now that you have the shackles of other people’s opinions about you released.
It’s a freeing feeling to finally realize (don’t take this the wrong way)-
NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU.
They only care about themselves, in relation to you.
It’s how you “make” them feel that they care about.
Let that be their problem, their personal growth, not yours.
You’re awesome.
Don’t let those who are intimidated by your awesomeness change who you are, how you show up or how boldly you contribute to this world.
Bring your best every day.
And let the world be challenged and awe-inspired by your example – that’s your only obligation.

Certainly! people’s opinions about us are just that – opinions. They are subjective and may not always reflect our true worth or abilities.
Worrying about what others think is a surefire way to stifle our growth and happiness. People will always have opinions – some will love you, some will hate you, and some will be neutral. But at the end of the day, what they think is none of our business!
Because nobody is thinking about us. People will only consider us or talk about us if we are affecting THEM (ego, pride, fear, envy, jealousy, whatever), which means it’s still about THEM, not us because man is selfish in nature.
The only opinion that truly matters is our own. What we need is to be focus on staying true to ourself, being confident in our actions, and pursuing our goals with determination.
Thank you very much sir..
Hmmmm… Very deep!
You’re right Mr Babs, it’s quite liberating now that I reason this.
Remain Blessed sir.
I’m your no 1 fan and follower sire
This is top notch and valueeee
There’s no better time for this than now
No one is talking about
So therefore I will keep being me and try my best to impact the world positively.
Thank you Mr Babs
This is indeed an Amazing Nuggets!
We all should know and understand that People care about themselves alone and as humans we are selfish, which is normal.
I learnt that we should always liberate ourselves from the burden of seeking validation from others and focus on being ourselves.
Self-worth should not be determined by the opinions of others, but rather by how we contribute positively to the world.
I love how this topic was explained because it ultimately encourages embracing one’s awesomeness and making a positive impact on the world.
Thanks so much for the great word of knowledge sir🙏
….My G.O.A.T.(greatest of all times) you will always be my mentor❣️❣️
Wow!…this is priceless wisdom 💯
Thanks so much sir…more power 2 ur elbow.
No one cares about you, that means you have to be self committed to whatever it is you are doing, don’t let anything or anybody intimidate you
Be convinced about what you are doing, if you are convinced people’s opinion will not matter and you don’t have to wait for people’s approval, know why you do what you are doing
Be your number 1 fan and be yourself cheerleader, believe so much in yourself others will join
Whatever they think of you doesn’t matter now, be committed and consistent with what you are doing, focus on yourself be committed to building and adding value to yourself
Your result will always speak for you
No one really cares about me
Thank you so much for this sir
