Opinions
Opinions, as the old adage says, “Opinions are like hinnies, everyone has one.“ Some opinions are worse than others, just like the word I chose to describe them, some are a hinny, and some are a@@holes. For the most part, they purely represent what we use our backside for, crap. Once we learn this about opinions, they no longer have a hold on or over you.
Recognize that everyone has an opinion, but do not dwell on anything negative. Remember that anything negative has no power. Categorize it as stuff said, stuff lost, and mistakes that were never brought to your attention. That is what a negative opinion is: none of your business. It is insignificant, as the person sharing the negativity.
What can you do to help yourself? Here is what you should ask yourself. Who is bringing it to you, and is it valid? The first thing is have no reaction, access for negativity, and practice your pause. It is not worthy of a reaction because the nefarious opinion has no power and go about your life as if that never occurred. Most importantly, if it was not brought to you for correction by the appropriate person, it is garbage, a pedestal to cry from, an attempt to play victim, not looking for resolution. The short and sweet of it is cut the loop, excise the opinion, evict it and the offending deliverer from your vicinity. The first step to cultivating a landscape of positivity to surround yourself with.
