never listen to others advice or criticisim to decide on your life's path
I have been guilty of this, in my younger years where I would listen to my parents, siblings criticisim about the way I do certain things in my life and ofcourse would label myself wrong labels like too lazy or not too pretty or whatever. Recently read wonderful story & realized how wrong that little voice in my head telling me wrong things about myself. I realized people will say things sometimes not meaning a thing or sometimes to get what they want from you. At the end of the day you are adult and have to do what is right for you and your family. for example my mom would always criticize the person if he spends too much, ofcourse she will also criticize the person if he is thrifty, so there is no way you can win her aproval, I realise now she had same style even when I was young, if spent too much time on clothes & outer appearance than she will get mad that wasting time & resources on frivelous things, and since young I was never interested in those girly things any ways so I will not do them, then she will say oh Asha she never cares about how she looks, all she cares about is going to her classes, ofcourse that always made me feel I m not sofiscated or pretty enough like my other sisters. Now after 30+ years I am realising stop listening to others & their view points about you, when you do that, you are giving away too much power to outside world. you have to do what you feel right for you. and every action with right intention behind is right thing to do. So my new action plan for my life is follow my heart on things I want to do which brings me joy & not because what others will say or think about it. I will do what I feel right thing to do.
