Trust Yourself and Do Your Own Thing

Over the years I've become certain of how opinionated people are. As a child when your beliefs are formed, that's when I came across people in my society talking about the right games for children to play, the right clothes to wear, the proper time to step out of the house to play, the right set of people to mix around with. Standards of decency, fashion, being a good child, and gender-specific behaviors, like all, are defined in the unwritten, yet so tightly held and adhered to law book by society. 

This law book is carried by children well into adulthood and throughout life as opinions of others turn into beliefs that strengthen to become accepted ways of life. 

Are these ways of life and beliefs all dysfunctional? Nope, I'm not trying to say that here. All I want is to show the world, as a mind coach, that we all, including you and me, will hold at any point in time both rational and irrational beliefs. They influence our patterns of behavior at all times. They predict how far we limit ourselves or feed our minds with better opportunities. As children, we are mostly naive and do not get the chance to have a say in the norms society keeps imposing on us. However, as adults, we can rationally discern thoughts. In the process, we can ignore some opinions and talks and not let them affect us. 

People have life experiences of their own, and they talk from their perspectives. That does not make them wrong or right people. It is their opinion. To each its own. Kuch to log kaheinge..logo ka kaam hai kehna...hai na
