Don’t let other people steal our joy
There are many “mini-lessons” within this one sentence, as we can interpret it in a few different ways. First, caring what other people think is a mental prison we will be stuck in the rest of our lives if we don’t learn to free ourselves. How do we escape? Of course, by staying true to ourselves regardless of how others may perceive us. Our own opinion of ourselves matters much more than others who don’t know our story.
Secondly, we are only responsible for our own feelings and emotions, and not to let other people drag us into their own misery. We can’t control situations but we can take charge of how we react to them.
