About This Quote

Stop caring about what other people think of you, how they perceive you, or if they approve of you. Start to focus on your inner peace. This quote is a guiding principle for those who want to take control of their lives and make them as satisfying as possible. Being related to the phrase, “Stop caring about what other people think…” is a basic concept that we all understand.

The question is: Why do we care? The answer seems simple: we care because we fear others’ thoughts and desires will affect our own sense of self-worth and happiness. We worry that others may not like us and that if we do not like us, then we may not be lovable too. But this is a false concern.

If we take back the power to care about what others think, we can gain back the strength to be who we really are.
