Forgetta bout it

I learned a long time ago. You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all the people all the time. So best to stop trying. 

When you get old enough something strange happens. You get really close to not caring what people think about you. Unless of course you gave birth to them, you married them or they gave birth to you.  Then you never stop caring. Thankfully they don't either. But you come to this place in your life where you become your own best critique. You know when you are rocking and rolling. You know when you have really stepped in it.

So I am going to share four questions you should ask for yourself to help you determine whether you should forgetta bout it.  One-What's their motivation for getting into my business? Two-What's in it for them? Three-Could I talk to them like this? Four-Will they even be around this time next year? If you are not satisfied with any of these answers then you know what to do. Forgetta bout it!

There is also a great article on the subject, Five steps to stop worrying about what people think of you.

Remember, do you until the wheels fall off!

For me, it was when I turned40. Suddenly, I didn't care what people thought of me. They would get over it...or not (shrugs shoulders). Yes, 40 was very liberating!

Hello La Detra!

Thanks for the the shout-out.

A lot of people I talk to say it was a pretty sudden thing when they stopped caring what others thought. I know it was for me. It's like something clicks and you realize it never mattered. There was never anything to gain by trying to manipulate a stranger's thoughts.

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
