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.

  How to be happy: the address of happines is www.your.mind

 

   

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.

  Conquering Yourself brings lasting happiness. VK buddhist quotes

 

The wind of life is always possible. VK happiness quoyes  

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.

  Guard your happiness, Be free from anger, stay calm
