There are times by simply being ourselves and making our own choices, we inspire or influence others in a positive way to look at themselves and what their path is. This happens especially if someone looks up to us, respects us or likes to learn from us.
Occasionally, it can also have the opposite effect, and people will see or hear you and then subconsciously feel uncomfortable with what they themselves are doing, what they’re choosing or how they’re being.
And, sometimes by just you being you, you being your creative self, or you living in the world as you are and as you feel called to do, other people are going to feel the need to say something about it.
Here’s the thing, we don’t have to say (or believe) every damn thing that pops into our head.
In fact, so much of what we think about how life or others should be is biased and unnecessary, but the ego tries to convince us that what we have to say is so special and important, that we feel the need to share all of it with the world wherever we go.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about “creating our own world”. One where we get to do what we need to in order to feel healthy, happy and fulfilled, without feeling the need to inflict those preferences on others. This doesn’t mean that we don’t share about them, we just don’t need to insist that others follow suit.
As Bob Ross so brilliantly said; “Just because I did one, doesn’t mean you have to.” We’re all here to find our own way and one person’s preferences, does not make another's wrong. We get to be different and that’s super-duper OK!
