\n I used to be the girl who NEEDED advice from people. I thrived on listening to others.

\n To be honest, I guess I still kind of am. I\u2019ve come to the realization that I\u2019m just not a decisive person. The only thing I can actually make decisions on are clothes, shoes, and bags. And even then, sometimes I can\u2019t even figure out what my closet truly needs. In my career, I\u2019m always looking to my team for approval, recommendations, etc. In my blog life, any positive comment or praise would lead me to explore a new opportunity or something to create. Or if I saw someone else finding success in doing a certain something, then I would want to do it too. Which I guess is pretty natural. But then, you kind of start feeling like a fraud, no?\n <\/p>\n

\n Sometimes I feel like I\u2019m not speaking my own truth. I think I let my own thoughts get overshadowed by other things, and they don\u2019t end up getting the attention they really deserve. I feel like we\u2019re conditioned to act and behave in a way that the society you\u2019re in \u201capproves\u201d. So that causes us to stop listening to ourselves, and start listening to the noise.\n <\/p>\n

\n Everyone has an opinion. Which, yes, they\u2019re entitled to. But that doesn\u2019t mean you necessarily need to listen to it. Everyone\u2019s opinions are based on their perspective and experience. It\u2019s almost like everyone somehow knows how YOU can achieve YOUR perfect life\u2026but when you look at them, they haven\u2019t achieved theirs. Of course, I think it\u2019s important to listen to the opinions of others WHEN IT IS NECESSARY. But when it comes to yourself, and bettering yourself, only YOU can decide that.\n <\/p>\n

\n I really believe that the only difference between those who succeed and those who get stuck, is their capacity to block out the noise from everyone around them.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n How do you block out the noise in order to do what\u2019s best for you?
