CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK

I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you think I am. I am what I think you think I am.”

― Charles Horton Cooley

I love that Charles Horton Cooley quote. He was an American sociologist from the 1800s. It’s a great observation of how most of us see ourselves. It’s something that so many us get trapped in and it’s a prison that is hard to break out. But you can! It starts by caring more about what you think first. Start putting yourself and your opinions before others and being your authentic self. It takes some practice if you aren’t used to doing it, but it does get easier. Then watch what happens.
