We've all experienced well-meaning friends, family, co-workers, etc., who are ready, willing and able to provide us with advice on how we should live our lives. Some advice is helpful, however, more often than not, we get a lot of baloney thrown our way. These well meaning individuals seem to know more about us than we know about ourselves.
It's unclear why individuals who aren't successful living their own life feel secure enough to direct us as to how our lives should be led. Whether you requested their viewpoint or not, the input provided is based on their beliefs and, as such, may not pertain to your situation. It's very easy for some people to dictate to us who we are and what we are or aren't capable of.
So, what do you do as you receive this unsolicited advice? Have you ever noticed your reaction(s) to some of the advice given? Do you find yourself rolling your eyes as you listen to the false assumptions, or baloney, that is being fed to you?
Our identity is not with others or what they think of us. Our identity should be based on our belief in our self. If you don't have faith in your abilities, your insecurities can run deep. Change your inner chatter from doubt to faith. Once you discover the value you provide, there is no longer the need to entertain the well-meaning baloney that is sent your way.
