“Care about what other people think, and you will always be their prisoner.” - Lao Tzu
————
People will hold all kinds of judgements, opinions & perceptions of you.
And to be fair, none of it really matters.
It’s human nature to judge, to assess & to form opinions, ultimately for survival. That said, people will judge us through the lens of their own traumas, their lived experiences and therefore a perception may often be a projection and not necessarily reality (truth).
To place less emphasis, and give less energy to worrying what others may think, and put that energy into expressing yourSelf authentically, making aligned choices (not living up to expectations of others), and honouring your own priorities, values & beliefs.
Some people will resonate, others will not, and that’s all beautiful. That’s freedom.
