Be the boss of your mind; is that too difficult a thing to do?
Confident people don't wait for other people's judgement before they approve or reject a thing. They don't feel too big not to get other people's opinion, but they don't base their judgements primarily on what other people think or say.
Some people divorce their partner or sack a staff only because someone else asked them to so. A few years ago, a popular Indian actress rejected the marriage proposal from her lover, simply because her mother wants her to marry a rich man. She actually married a wealthy businessman, but she was not happy in the marriage and later on got a divorced. Today, she is still a single unhappy woman. All because she chose to listen to her mom and not to follow her heart.
Currently, the world is witnessing a cryptocurrency bubbles and everyone has turned a crypto adviser. People are losing money every minute by following the instructions from some weird YouTube channels and self-acclaimed crypto gurus. In as much as there are people who have in-depth knowledge of a thing more than you do, always do your own research and do not accept everything hook line and sinker.
Am I against you sourcing information or the opinion of other people? No, but you don't have to treat anyone like they have absolute knowledge. Accept their opinion, then carefully do your own analysis before passing out judgements.
No one took a part of your, then gave it to someone else. So why should you totally depend on others to do your thinking for you? Besides, you cannot see their minds, you don't even know what's the real thing going on there. They only told you what they want you to know. Isn't that a good reason why you should be in charge of your thoughts?
Be humble and tolerant, but at the same time, Be confident and be smart. Be the boss of your mind.
Quotes for the day.
No one has an absolute knowledge. There is always something to learn from other people no matter how professional or unprofessional the person is, learn to eat the meat and throw the bone.
Much love from ogoowinner.

great message and the words were dead on. if everyone was free thinking the world wouldn't be the way it is now =) great read
Thank you
Yeah @ogoowinner! Get off my mind, isn't?
Sure it! Lol! Thank you for reading
Good to see you, that's damned right. When an uncle was leaving banking for lecturing in 2007, people thought he's mad. Many advised him against it, he refused. His bank's salary then triple what lecturing would've paid, but being confident it was the right thing to do, he ignored many people and followed his heart. A year later the banking industry as we know it popped. Great post.
Thank you dear. So many people tried discouraging me from joining steemit. I'm glad I didn't listen to them.
I never really listen to a lot of people. I just do my own thing when I think it's right. No time.
Hello @ogoowinner
I don't compromise to please anyone. If I have to do something I do.If your advice is lit. I can tap into it. But if you are trying to discourage me in something I believe in hahaha it ain't gonna work.
Cheers

Like I'd always say, waiting for someone else to make you happy is the perfect way to be sad. Nice article!
I like this post about nigeria. thanks.
Oh! really? What did I say about Nigeria?
amaizing country
Lol... Thats how to catch those who never read a post before commenting
You are so right about this. At the end of the day, only you have to live with the outcome of your decisions.
Nice write up ma'am. Spot on!
That's very true we are all unique and have the capabilities beneath us and only we can discover that no one else can
This summarizes the whole post ...
Masterpiece!
I think, that you have described two different situations. The first situation is, that you get neutral information, that could influence your life. Now you have to decide, whether it is true, how much it is true or if there is a little piece of information within the information, which is not true. This is always the case with Newspapers and news on TV. The second situation is, that an authority like your mother or your father or perhaps your teacher says to you, what to do and what not to do. This situation is difficult to handle and you have more than one option to react. Sometimes it is wise to do as you are told to, sometimes it is better to explain your point of view and to try to persuade. It is rarely a good idea to do the oposite without any explanation unless you do not care about the person.
Good talk Ogo. I agree with you totally, why should I believe someone else more than myself? Why should I allow others dump their opinions on me? We should love and believe in us enough to trust that we are the only ones who would want the best for us. Thank you dear for sharing.
