What are other people going to think? I thought of this topic today since this is not what it looks like from the outside.

We have heard numerous times people saying things like -

"Oh! I don't really care what other people think". There are numerous quotes and you will find all these quotes and posters all over the internet and social media that tell you to not care what other people think. A number of these posts are from celebrities, or socialites, fashionistas or fashion models or actors, and film stars and such who go about repeating this phrase that they do not care what other people think...numerous times ..all the time that I get sick of hearing this... But don't you think that at the same time, these folks are the ones who care the most about WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK!

That is their profession. Their livelihood. They have to impress people. They live on what other people think and their followers and their subscribers. But they keep on saying this mantra that 'I don't care what other people think'. The whole world of social media runs around this concept. Foremost is Instagram, come on, it runs on what other people think!

So ....now the question is what to do? what is right? Is there an answer to this puzzle?

I am sorry - I do not have an easy answer for you. All I can say is, about certain somethings or processes I think that will reduce the confusion and in the process will make you happier. The way it makes you happier is I guess solely because you spend less time thinking about this topic of other people.

OK. So what do we do?

I think the way it works is by keeping you somehow busy following a deep-rooted purpose from within that you have, a passion let us say deep within you which will drive you, and when you are on that journey you will naturally be not thinking about other people.

Now the question that one may have is - how do I know what is the work or passion or purpose that I should be following? Now, this is where you need to search within. Searching within is meditation. One does not have to sit cross-legged on the floor for 1 hour or such to do this and there are other blogs and articles on this topic which you will find and I have also created some of them.

You just have to look within to find that out and you will definitely find a purpose if you really look.

You have to live your own life. No one else is living it for you. So you decide.
