About This Quote

People will have their opinions of you, but you must be able to distinguish theirs from yours. You will never be able to please everyone. Even people that most would consider to be your close friends and family may express their disapproval of you at one time or another. This is natural, and it’s impossible to prevent all of these opinions from coming your way.

But if you choose to ignore them or let them affect you, chances are you’ll end up only hurting yourself in the long run. Instead, it’s important to remember what others say about you and focus on the things that really matter — your own opinions of yourself and what makes you happy in life.
