This fabulous life lesson about what other people are thinking went wildly viral and we wish we knew then what we know now
Here’s a rather fabulous life lesson about what other people think of us that went wildly viral on Twitter for reasons which we hope will become obvious.
It was shared by @Lovandfear and comes from Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert’s book Big Magic: How to Live a Creative Life, and Let Go of Your Fear.
Now if that’s the sort of title to have you running for the hills then we hear you, but seriously, it’s a moment or two of your life well spent.

And just in case that’s tricky to read in full …
Well, it definitely speaks to us. And to these people too.
They aren’t. They weren’t. They never were. https://t.co/mOxFrEcpV3

it’s one of the most liberating and yet most frustrating realizations anyone can come to.
It’s frustrating only because you realize how much time you have wasted,
Liberating because you realize how much you can do with the time you have left!— Briant (@br14ant) December 12, 2024
The good news and the bad news all rolled into one. https://t.co/ryr2NJpIA6

People had issues, obviously.
Half truth.
They are and they aren’t.
The wisdom lies more in being okay with being disliked.

Well, maybe that too.
This isn’t true for everyone… I think of what other people are doing, a lot. Friends, lovers, acquaintances.

And that, although it’s the people outside of that circle that you might spend too much time thinking about, no?
But that’s all we have time for in our session today, see you next week!
