no dictation please

A conversation with a friend {you know who you are ;-)} this week got me thinking again ... about how much many of us are concerned with what others think about us. I've given a lot of that up, but are we ever able to overcome those concerns fully? I certainly hope so.

Here's some food for thought:

"I wouldn't worry about what people thought about me so much if I realize how seldom they did." anonymous

"What people think about you is none of your business." anonymous

"You only have one life to live, and it will most certainly pass quicker than anticipated. Your life need not be dictated by others' expectations of you ... influenced by others, affected by others, inspired by others, yes ... but not dictated by others." Shelley
