Be yourself. It’s more fun. Ignore the haters. Smile. Win!
As my life has unfolded and time has passed; I have ‘changed’. The reason why I use the word ‘changed’ is that I don’t think I am becoming anything different, I am merely becoming who I really am as I unshackle the world of judgement and ‘brain washing’ society has given me.
As this plays out and I get more fit, lose weight, wear Army Hats, talk about Jesus and run around helping wonderful people; it’s been a great journey of being more capable to deliver more.
Interestingly however; I get only a little bit of ‘judgement’ and ‘tall poppy’ here and there. I remember this well in that I went to an event the other week wearing a tight red polo and my Army Hat. I got some compliments and one snooty person told me I should be wearing that and it’s inappropriate and the like.
I laughed at them and told them they were ‘jealous of the hat’ and that caused them to leave me alone (as well as a few people laughed at him).
What I found interesting about this whole experience is that I am being myself, living my reality and I am being accepting of others. As a proud ‘Classical Libertarian’, personal rights & freedoms are very important to us as humans. You can believe in whatever god you want (or not), pursue your own life and do it in your own way. I can’t interfere in your life and equally you can’t interfere in mine.
This may sound great on the surface but the truth is that there are people that want to judge you and interfere in your life. Although I am one to say let no one interfere in your life to the negative; let people judge you!
If someone doesn’t like you, dislikes you, disagrees with you and can’t help judging you – that is wonderful and let them! There is no law saying that they must like you, nor should you like them.
My advice and thinking? Let people think whatever they want, BUT don’t let it impact your own plans and thinking. This frees you from the ‘mental shackles’ of the heard allowing you to live a cool life and do things your way.
Be yourself. Let others judge you. Then go and win big.
Love your work, enjoy the read, thanks for your support and stay awesome!
