Even The Most Famous People
If you want to make a change in your life, but you’re scared of what people might think, or scared that you might fail, or scared that you’re not good enough, just go for it.
Odds are, most people don’t care that much about you or your problems that much. It’s nothing against you, it’s just that everyone has their own problems and insecurities that take up enough of their own time.
Think about the most famous people in the world. Even the most famous people most often only catch our attention for a few hours or days at a time, and then we forget. Some star gains weight and people talk about it for a few days and forget. Or some celebrity couple breaks up and it’s a blip in the news for a couple days.
The moral of the story is, the world keeps turning. Things pass, and judgements fade. Don’t waste your life worrying so much about what people will say or think of you right now, when they’ll probably forget in a day or two anyway.
Everyone has enough issues in their own lives, that they don’t really have the time or energy to worry about yours. And anyone who does, is probably nosy and annoying anyway, so you can ignore them.
So try to learn that new skill you’ve been wanting to, but you’re scared to fail at. Start something new. Get rid of something that’s no longer useful to you. Change that thing you’re thinking about changing. Start your journey and forget about everyone else’s opinions.
