What you Think About Me Is None Of My Business

Back in the early 1980s, there was a New Thought minister in San Diego, CA named Terry Cole-Whittaker. She was and still is a very vivacious speaker who was so popular that she even had her own Sunday morning TV program. During that time, she authored a book called, “What You Think of Me Is None Of My Business.”

Although Terry’s path changed rather dramatically in the years that followed, one of her legacies is this idea. It doesn’t even matter if you’ve read the book or not—the title alone is something that I refer to on many occasions. It would certainly be SMART for each one of us to regularly remind ourselves “What others think of us is none of our business.”

Now before you get defensive and try to claim that you don’t care what other people think of you—let me ask you a few questions. Do you work at any job or spend any time during your day doing anything you don’t like to do? After all, if you didn’t care you’d never do something you didn’t like to do, right? Or, do you wear only clothes (or no clothes at all!) whenever or wherever you want?

Again, if you don’t practice complete freedom, then who are you doing it for? Do you follow every whim you have? Do you eat, drink and make merry exactly as you choose? The answer to all of these is probably—“of course not!” That’s because even though we might want to live a bit differently, as social creatures we realize that it’s often important to compromise some things in order to live in harmony and peace with other beings.
