Not caring what other people think is the best decision you will ever make.

How do you stop from caring what others think? Have a sincere intimate relationship with God,

Make honest upright choices (can your spouse check your phone anytime?… mine can)

If you don’t have those two things covered than your own psyche will guilt trip you and be a black cloud that follows you as the haters hate on you. but if you do have those covered, then its just funny to you what other people think. 

 

 

Nobody watches you more than those who hate you or are jealous of you. (The most captious are the most jealous) Feel sorry for those who nitpick at you for stupid things… it is a sure sign that they do not love or even like themselves. 

 

Rumors are carried by haters spread by fools and accepted by idiots. 

You’ve heard the cliche there are two sides to every story? THATS NOT TRUE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIDES TO EVERY STORY. What he said, she said, what he meant, what she meant, what others thought it meant…

The older I get the more I realize I can’t be surprised at what anyone says is true… knowing that it is probably most definitely NOT true. 

 

 

(Ok, I have to modify this one, but I think you can tell what its really trying to say at the end)

People in their 20’s who think life sucks… Well guess what, Life hasn’t even begin to hate you yet. 

At every major age marker, 20, 30, 40, 50 etc… I realize how little I know about life and how little I have gone through. There is a woman in my church who found out 5 years ago she was adopted (she’s 55’sh) She was divorced from her first husband who was abusive, her second husband of 30 years died a long hard death with cancer, she lost her daughter in a car accident, she lost her grandkids to a sons divorce, she lost her granddaughter out of spite, she found her real father only to find out her real mother didn’t want to meet her, her real dad is now struggling with health problems, and this woman is losing her house… my life? Pretty easy! 

 

 

Two reasons I don’t trust people: I don’t know them and I know them. 

Micah 7:5,6 Put no trust in a neighbor; have no confidence in a friend; guard the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms; for the son treats the father with contempt, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

*more than ever trust needs to be earned, proven and time tested - or simply put- you are a fool.
