“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” When you base your feelings on other people’s opinions, you are allowing them to control your life. You are metaphorically allowing them to be your puppet master, and when they pull the strings just right, you either feel good or bad. Today, is the day that you recognize and begin to integrate the truth that other people’s opinions of you are none of your business. Their opinions have nothing to do with you and everything to do with them, their past, their judgments, their expectations, their likes, and their dislikes. Today, stop looking outside yourself for validation, approval or acceptance because you are the only one that can give yourself those things because you are the only one that knows your truth! Today, stop worrying about what other people think. It will change your life.

Just for today, I am far more than other people's opinions. My opinion of myself is the only one that counts. As I move through the layers of other peoples opinions and beliefs, I see within me a magnificent being-wise and beautiful. No person, place or thing has any power over me for I am the only thinker in my mind. I create my reality and everyone in it. I am safe and I choose to love and approve of myself. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
