Emotional intelligence is critical. If you can’t hear the truth because it’s coming from someone you don’t like or disagree with you won’t get far in life. The messenger is important. But the MESSAGE is what is MOST important.
if you wanna be happy you literally cannot cannot cannot cannottttttt care what people think… like you have to practice that daily.. and stay grounded in that. long as you not hurting or hindering nobody do what you want & be unapologetic about it… daily.
Individuality is so important, it’s like everyone is tryna do what everyone else is doing and folks be surprised when it doesn’t work out and that’s because God had a lane for you and you chose to merge into some else’s.
Comparison will come for your joy every time. It’s actually offensive to the Creator when you compare yourself to others, as your design was divinely and uniquely made. Recognize that your authenticity is what sets you apart. This life is for you. Keep eyes on your own blessings.
i love people who unflinchingly disagree with me or openly dislike things i like. it signals i can trust them not to pretend or be fake in favor of optimizing for situational comfort. contrarians on the other hand, i do not respect. liabilities.
