The address of
your happiness is www.your.mind
Sometimes you can hear apparently negative
remarks about you or what you are doing. Don't
let bad wishers harm your
happiness, confidence and self-esteem. Their
opinions don't actually matter. |

The four types of opinions that
matter, others don't. Here are:
The four types of opinions that
matter
These
opinions come from people who:
① care about you and
wish you well;
② are great experts and
are getting the results you want to
achieve;
③
are your
teammates
whom you are
working toward a common
goal
with;
④ are your target
beneficiaries whom you are striving to
create a greater value for.

Guard your happiness.
Don't let bad wishers harm
your happiness,
confidence and self-esteem. |

Though their opinions may sometimes seem
negative, they are actually always positive. It is a
positive
feedback.
As Ken Blanchard puts it, "feedback is the
breakfast of champions." So treat these opinions as
learning
opportunities and lessons that help you
improve
what you are doing and
achieve much more. |
|
|
As to other opinions, they come from people
who neither care about you, nor share your aspirations, are neither experts
in your field, nor your target beneficiaries. So why should you feel harmed?
Let them keep their negative opinions, and you keep
your happiness. |

Each time you choose reflection
over anger and love over revenge
you grow
wiser
and happier.

External victories bring temporary
happiness.
Conquering yourself brings lasting
happiness.
Happiness is the light that flows inside out,
not outside in. |

Ignore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back
