Happy Inspirational Sunday’s #4!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas day if you celebrate it of course! My family and I spent Christmas Eve at my parents house, all of my family members from grandmothers to uncles and aunts and cousins gather there to celebrate Christmas Eve. On Christmas day, I spent it in my house with my kids and hubby, opening the rest of the presents and to tell you the my kids had a lot of presents is an understatement. Those kids are blessed!
Moving on to today’s inspirational Sunday quote which says ” If you care what other people think, you will always be their prisoner”, doesn’t that just hit home for you? I mean we have all been there, where we care so much about what other people think that we are not even ourselves. It’s hard to live in a world where we are being judged on our every move and to break out of it it’s sometimes hard.
When I was younger I would care about what other people thought of me, mainly in high school, I was not myself all of the time and that really hurt me a lot. I wanted to be popular sometimes (I had those days) and I wanted people to think I was “cool”, but what is cool anyways? You know what cool is? Cool is when you can be yourself and be proud of it, when you can go on with your life without being insecure because you are thinking too much about people’s thoughts and feelings about you.
I am here to say that you can break out of it, out of this ugly cycle, you are cool in your own way. I am so happy that I do not care about what other people think about me anymore, I am free, haha! Seriously, you will live a better and more positive life if you just live how you want to live and not by how other people want you to live your life.
There will always be opinionated people telling you how to be a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter and so on and so forth but only you can take control of your own life and say ” you know what, I do what I can everyday to be a better me and nobody will take that away from me” We all try our best to be a better mother each day, to cater to our husband’s in the best way that we can, to call our parents everyday to see how they are doing and to just be better siblings.
People do not know our entire life, our every single move, our struggles, our pain, our happiness, our success, so why do they get to have such an important voice in our lives’? Why? because we let them that’s why!
Stop caring about what other people think of you because you will always be their prisoner, you will live a negative and scared life, you wont be yourself and that’s the worse thing you can do to your own self esteem and to you.
Be happy, be you, and careless about what others think about you, only care about what YOU think of yourself, trust me!

Have a blessed day.

feliz Domingo de inspiracion #4!
Espero que hayan tenido un maravilloso dÃa de Nochebuena y Navidad, si usted celebra que por supuesto! Mi familia y yo pasamos la Nochebuena en casa de mis padres, todos los miembros de mi familia desde abuelas a los tÃos y tÃas y primos se reúnen allà para celebrar la Nochebuena. El dÃa de Navidad, pasé en mi casa con mis hijos abriendo el resto de los regalos y de decirle que tenÃa un montón de regalos es un eufemismo. Esos niños son bendecidos!
Pasando a la cita inspiradora de este Doming que dice “Si te importa lo que piensen los demás, siempre será su prisionero“. Quiero decir que todos hemos estado allÃ, donde nos preocupamos tanto de lo que otras personas piensan que no somos incluso nosotros mismos. Es difÃcil vivir en un mundo en el que estamos siendo juzgados en todos nuestros movimientos y para salir de eso a veces es difÃcil.
Cuando era más joven me importara lo que los demás pensaban de mÃ, sobre todo en la escuela secundaria, yo no era yo y realmente me dolió mucho. Yo querÃa ser popular y querÃa que la gente pensara que era “cool“, pero que es cool de todos modos? ¿Sabes lo bueno es? Cool es cuando se puede ser uno mismo y estar orgulloso de eso, cuando se puede seguir con su vida sin ser insegura porque usted está pensando demasiado acerca de los pensamientos y sentimientos acerca de usted de las otras personas.
Yo estoy aquà para decir que se puede salir de eso, fuera de este ciclo feo, usted es cool en su propia manera. Estoy tan feliz de que ya no me importa lo que otros piensa de mÃ, soy libre, jaja! En serio, va a vivir una vida mejor, más positiva si usted vive como quieres vivir y no por lo que otras personas quieren que vivas tu vida.
Siempre habrá dictamen por gente que le dice cómo ser una madre, una esposa, una hermana, una hija y asà sucesivamente, pero sólo se puede tomar el control de su propia vida y decir “sabes qué, yo hago lo que puedo todos los dÃas para ser un mejor yo y nadie va a quitar eso” Todos nuestro mejor esfuerzo para ser una mejor madre cada dÃa, para atender a nuestro esposo de la mejor manera que podamos, para llamar a nuestros padres todos los dÃas para ver cómo están y simplemente ser mejores hermanos.
La gente no sabe toda nuestra vida, todos nuestros movimientos individuales, nuestras luchas, nuestro dolor, nuestra felicidad, nuestro éxito, asà que ¿por qué se llegan a tener una voz tan importante en nuestras vidas ‘? ¿Por qué? porque nosotros lo permitimos por eso!
Deje de preocuparse por lo que otros piensan de usted, porque usted siempre será su prisionero, va a vivir una vida negativa y con miedo a no ser como eres en realidad y eso es lo peor que puedes hacer para su propia autoestima y en su vida.
Sé feliz y descuidada por lo que otros piensan de ti, sólo preocupate por lo que piensas de sà misma, confÃa en mÃ!

Totally agree with this. I am guilty of this myself. As I get older I try to put aside all of those thoughts, it’s hard to do because of the way I was raise (don’t do this, don’t do that or people are going to talk) It’s exhausting! These days I just let people talk, they are gonna do it regardless! Thank you for this post, very inspirational 🙂
I still struggle with this sometimes as a mother. I’m always worried about the judgment of other people. I really love this post.

I love this post and it’s such a great reminder! I especially like what you said about not letting others rule your life. We are in control of our lives and can determine who is part of it. If certain people only bring negativity and drama to your life then you probably don’t need them in it. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for reading Pam!You are right, it’s hard sometimes but we have to not care about others, specially if they bring negativity into our lives.
Thanks! Yeah mothers get judge a lot and it’s not fair. We just have to worry about our children’s well being and others can just deal with it!
Your welcome Cara! Exactly, if people bring negativity and drama into our lives, we do not need them, even if they are family.
