When someone attacked or criticised my ideas, I used to feel the need to defend myself. “I’m going to have to say something!” But now I’m not sure what the point is anymore. You can’t make someone else change their mind. When was the last time this was said? Well, John and I disagreed on X. Nonetheless, John’s argument convinced me to re-evaluate what I believe. This will be the beginning of a new chapter of my life. “John was absolutely correct! “For the life of me, I can’t recall ever hearing anything like that. In the workplace, in your home and even while working out at a gym, you’ll find yourself in disagreement with others on a regular basis. When was the last time you felt the need to stand up for your beliefs? We’re enslaved by our own ideas and spend our time trying to persuade others that they’re the best. What a squander. What is it about other people’s thoughts, ideas, and deeds that bothers you? You don’t have to justify why you think and act the way you do.
A “best” so-and-so is a non-entity. It’s possible that what works for you won’t for someone else. You need to let go of your ego in order to succeed. Trying to disprove others isn’t necessary. You also don’t have to demonstrate your intelligence to others. This is a simple piece of advice: “Be yourself.” But putting it into action is a huge challenge. You are constantly being pressured by the rest of the world to do or think a certain way. Emerson, Ralph Waldo, said it best: “The greatest achievement is to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else.”
It’s easier to keep your wisdom to yourself as you grow older. Until recently, I didn’t understand why one of my mentors kept asking me questions about business while I was still a student at the university where he taught. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to succeed, but he didn’t want to show it. I had no idea what I was saying at the time. But he didn’t tell me that my answers were incorrect. Wise people never believe they know everything.
You Can’t Expect Everyone to Like What You Say
Having given up the fight to defend my beliefs, I now have the freedom to think and act as I please. My moral and ethical principles and principles guide my actions. No actions of mine are detrimental to the greater good. I don’t have to explain my thoughts as long as I follow those guidelines. People are always writing to ask about my articles, which I get every week. All but a few of them are excellent. People may or may not agree with the concepts being discussed. However, the vast majority of people are considerate. In addition, my readers have provided me with a wealth of information. However, there are those who try to disprove me. People who have this mindset are immediately identifiable to me. They’re only interested in defending their own position. Many of these emails used to be answered by me. But I don’t have the desire to fight with them. We’re merely attempting to defend our beliefs here. I also have no success persuading them. I would have done it with the article if I had the ability. There’s not much else to say, so I say what I have to say. What if someone has a different opinion? They are entitled to their opinion. But if someone is acting like an idiot, I’ll tell them. Marcus Aurelius was an emperor who killed people, so a guy recently told me to stop quoting him. What a shocker! Nobody needs to be a genius to see that historical figures have done many things incorrectly. In today’s transparent society, you can no longer get away with such things. There were a lot of heinous things said and done by ancient philosophers. That doesn’t mean that we should throw away their good ideas. There is no doubt about it. Everything has something to teach us. That’s the way I see it, anyway. So what if other people don’t like it? Isn’t it possible that I’m right? It does not imply, however, that the other party is correct. You will never stop learning if you remain humble and open to new ideas. That’s the most important thing to keep in mind here.
Don’t Get Angry with Your Thoughts
Many people stand up for what they believe in because it has become ingrained in their minds. Their ideas are attacked as if they were personal attacks when someone criticises them. They have a right to self-defence. Say to yourself, “It’s just an idea. Don’t get angry when someone challenges your ideas or beliefs. Not me,” he says. It’s a waste of time and energy to become enraged. That’s why I’m not clinging to any of my thoughts. If I find a better solution, I discard my old ones. Family and close friends are important to me, but not ideas. The cost of an idea is negligible. Everyone is capable of coming up with one. I’m more interested in what works in practise. Listen to what you have to say if you have a better way of doing something. It’s up to me, however, whether or not to take action. You, on the other hand, are free to do as you please. Everyone has their own unique characteristics. The problem is that we are constantly bombarded with claims that the views of others are superior to our own. There is a desire to turn you into something you aren’t. Refrain from capitulating at any point. Stay true to who you are. You can only live your life in an honourable way if you’re living it as yourself.
