I think you should care about what others think.
But I also think you should care about yourself.
Care about what they say — perhaps there’s something useful in it.
Something that could make your present or future self better.
At the same time, care about how you speak to yourself.
What you say about you matters too.
People say “don’t think about others’ opinions — protect your energy.”
However, what if there’s wisdom hidden in some of those opinions?
What if caring just a little could help you grow?
The real challenge isn’t “don’t care.”
The real challenge is: Are you kind and reflective enough to know which voices are worth listening to…and which ones you need to leave behind?
