- 0:29Good morning from the chicken. Coupe.
- 0:31So today we are talking about the good opinion of other people
- 0:37and it doesn't always have to be a good opinion, does it?
- 0:41Oh my gosh. No it doesn't.
- 0:43So this is coming up because I just love the fact that my real
- 0:48life situations, sometimes just bring me abilities to be able to
- 0:52talk to you guys about things. Oftentimes, it brings me things
- 0:56that I can talk to you guys about and this weekend was so As
- 1:01I heard a story that my husband was filling me in on about
- 1:05something that happened to someone in his family and how
- 1:10someone else was giving an opinion on this unsolicited.
- 1:16I might add and we've talked about unsolicited opinions
- 1:19before on here. However, I have to I just had to
- 1:24come back to it because I cannot express enough how when you
- 1:29decide that you are going. Going to take on the role of
- 1:33calling somebody and giving them information or running into
- 1:38somebody and giving them information that they did not
- 1:41ask for and giving your opinion, what that does to the other
- 1:47person and how that makes the other person feel.
- 1:51And when these things come up and they have absolutely nothing
- 1:56to do with you in your life, nothing to do with you.
- 1:59And you're just like, well, I think you did X Y and Z and I
- 2:03think this was wrong and I think this was this and this and this
- 2:05and you think you're doing somebody a service by calling
- 2:10them out on it. The question you have to ask
- 2:12yourself is is this for you that you're doing this or is this for
- 2:18the other person that you're doing this?
- 2:21And oftentimes it's for yourself because you feel like you have
- 2:25moral High ground, or you feel like you have value to Share but
- 2:31if that other person didn't ask you for and that other person
- 2:34didn't intend to have that information nor want it and ask
- 2:41for it. You're putting yourself into a
- 2:45position where you look foolish. Let's just come right down to
- 2:48it. And all of this, all of this
- 2:51comes down to one, big circle of, where, do all these things
- 2:56start. And these things start behind
- 3:00the scenes, where two people may be talking about somebody and to
- 3:05people maybe sharing they're like, wow, I had no idea or and
- 3:10this is, this is common. This is human cute
- 3:12communication. Do this all the time.
- 3:14My husband and I will sit and discuss things, but I know when
- 3:17I discuss something with my husband, I don't have to worry
- 3:20about him going on social media are going out, making phone
- 3:23calls and saying things to people, I know when I discuss
- 3:26things with my coach, I don't have to worry about him running
- 3:28off and talking to anybody about it.
- 3:31I don't talk about things that I don't want other people to know
- 3:35if your mother never gave you that advice or your grandmother
- 3:38or somebody in your life, never gave you that advice.
- 3:42Let's let me be the person. Person that share it with you.
- 3:44Now don't talk about people behind somebody's back.
- 3:49If you don't want things to get out there and you don't want
- 3:52people to know, don't stir the pot, don't be a little shits
- 3:56shit. Stirrer out there who's steering
- 3:59the pot, all up and making it for other people to be enraged
- 4:06and going out there and having conversation and talking
- 4:11especially when it comes back to talking directly to a Person
- 4:13about it every time that you decide to go out there and do
- 4:18that. And talk about somebody behind
- 4:19their back, you run the risk of it getting back to them whether
- 4:23you think it's okay or not, they're still going to find a
- 4:27way to get back to you. I promise you would always does.
- 4:29I learned that very early in my life, about fourth grade.
- 4:33My mother said it to me and I didn't necessarily think a big
- 4:38deal of it. I still remember the incident.
- 4:40I still remember the class. I was in mr.
- 4:42Ghorab. Herb.
- 4:43And oh my God. And I talked about my friend and
- 4:48to another friend and it was the worst thing and I hurt her
- 4:51feelings and I learned the lesson very early on and I was
- 4:55always very careful about it and Later in life.
- 5:00I did one thing again and it came back again.
- 5:03I didn't think it would be a big deal, but it was two times.
- 5:06There won't be a third ever in my life I can assure you of that
- 5:09but I will say this It is incredibly important to realize
- 5:15that the good opinion of other people is not something that
- 5:19you're in charge of. You are not the boss of the good
- 5:22opinion of other people and you cannot, you cannot Reign people
- 5:26in. They will have their opinions.
- 5:28They will say things they will do.
- 5:29Things don't be one who's partaking in it.
- 5:32Don't allow yourself to get caught up in it.
- 5:35Don't put yourself into the position of judging other
- 5:39people. When you don't know what made
- 5:41somebody made the Decisions. They make, you don't understand
- 5:44how they came to the conclusions.
- 5:46They came to, you don't know. You haven't walked a mile in
- 5:50their shoes so to speak. So to wrap this up and to put it
- 5:55all in a nice, neat nutshell, we mind our own business.
- 5:58We try not to talk about other people, especially in a way if
- 6:02we're not adding to the value of helping them.
- 6:05Then we should be quiet about it.
- 6:07We can have our opinion, but we should not be talking about
- 6:10other people and we certainly should never jump.
- 6:12Up out and judge another person when we have not had their
- 6:15experience have not lived in their house, have not gone
- 6:18through what they're going through.
- 6:20Have not stepped into their shoes.
- 6:21It is a dangerous dangerous place to go, my friends and it
- 6:24breaks families up. So watch it be careful of it and
- 6:29through this holiday season where we'll all be with people.
- 6:32It's time to just sit there in, take it all in and say this is
- 6:36interesting and let it all go because it doesn't affect you
- 6:40one bit in your Internal ecosystem and remember that.
- 6:45Don't let it in. All right, my friends.
- 6:47I hope you have a wonderful day and remember the good opinion of
- 6:50other people, doesn't matter. You don't need it.
- 6:53Stay out of it. I hope you have a blessed day.
- 6:55See you tomorrow. Bye.
