Opinion - Cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu once mentioned in a speech he was giving....'Duniya mein sabse bada rog...mere bare mein kya kahenge log'...translated...'The biggest disease in this world is...what will people think of me? Rightly said....and I myself have fallen victim to this disease many a times. OPINION....especially people's negative opinion of me or things I do have stressed me out in the past. And it happened again quite recently when someone's passing remark bothered me. And I am lucky to have friends whom I can talk to when something of this sort happens. So, to my friend who let me use her as a sounding board....thank you for letting me vent and thank you for telling me something I am going to remember every time I am in a similar situation again....Opinions should matter only when they come from people important to you.....I agree. I also believe that when negative opinions come from people who love you and care about you....they only have your best interest at heart. They can sometimes see from the other side what you miss...they can see your 'blind spot' which is hidden from you....and by pointing it out they are only helping you better yourself. As for every other opinion, it should just be taken with a pinch of salt.
Over - I am 'over'joyed when my children display their love for me. Then there are days when I feel 'over'whelmed. The importance of my family and friends in my life cannot be 'over'stressed. I cannot tolerate people who 'over'act...be it reel life or real life. When I am really really happy my cup of joy 'over'flows. I have been guilty of 'over'reacting in the past. I hope to 'over'come any difficulties that come my way. I 'over'think all the time. And there are things in my life which I just wish I could do all OVER again.
Signing off wanting to always stay 'Optimistic' and this quote by Oscar Wilde
'Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.'
