What Others Think of You

What other people think of you 
Is truly none of your business.
Because what they think of you
Is formed from the other folks thoughts about themselves.

And you cannot know anything about that.
So there’s no use thinking about what THEY think.
Better to think what YOU think of yourself, 
And make it all about the good stuff.
Think about:
    ...how kind you are.
    ...how your smile makes people happy.
    ...how others react when you greet them.
    ...how it feels to YOU when you help someone along the way.

You know what?
You can’t control what other people think or do.
You can’t control what will go on around you.
What can you control?
You can control how you think and react to others’ actions.
You can control how you handle what goes on around you.

And that’s enough.
Because in your actions, reactions, handling of life 
Is your power.
To change your self.
Which can change the world.

Love,
