There
is a huge problem when you sanction other people’s opinions above yours. Your decisions
will be affected and your dispositions will be limited.
Considering
other people’s opinions before deciding
is not the same thing as advices or counsels; it is a destructive expectation
that slows-down decision making process and impedes success. It happens when you cannot make a move until
somebody gives you a go-ahead nod or when you have to stop because someone
feels it isn’t right – and when we live our lives like that, we are carrying extra
loads, wearing ourselves out and making ourselves look insignificant.
It
may grow into bitterness and hatred, a feel of rejection and low self-esteem.
Nobody
has the right over your life but for as long as you allow them to exert their opinions
over yours; you are giving away the control of your life to undeserving people
and giving them the greatest opportunity to slow you down and probably turn you
into a slave.
To
live a joyful life;
1. Realise, it is immaterial who criticises you
if you succeed and it doesn’t matter who condemns you if you fail. It
is your life!
2. Take charge of your life: Whether
you run so fast or crawl slowly, people will talk. Do not think that every
spectator in the stadium is happy with the goal scorer – he had scored against
some people, he had scored for some, some have been plunged into debts and some
have gained more wealth. Despite it all, he has to score great goals and
celebrate the great goals to the chagrin of the opponents and for the
amusements of his fans.
3. Consider God, consider yourself and
think less about what the people will say: You are a player. Everything
depends on you; what people are thinking about you is immaterial. You don’t
live your life on other’s opinions; you only thrive on God’s and that is the
only opinion that matters. God will never encroach on your plans, why allowing
human beings to do that? Live every moment as a joyful lamb. Throw your fists
in the air if need be. Praise your God in the park as you wish. Shout openly if
you want. It is your wish and it is your life.
4. Learn to prioritize yourself; God never
said love your neighbour more than yourself.
