On Your Unique Path: How to Ignore Criticism and Follow Your Own Vision

People only see you through the prism of their own experience
Each person sees the world from a different perspective.

Perception is filtered by their repressed Beliefs, Experiences and Emotions.

In reality, no one will fully understand you.

They will only see a snapshot of your life.
Like a pixel taken out of a movie scene.
And you will be judged as if that pixel is the whole movie.

Don’t take their criticism too seriously. you’re the only one who has to sleep knowing who you are.

When you do things outside of their understanding of the world, they won’t understand why and will consider you acting irrationally

But you have a different understanding of the world. You have a different understanding than others.

Therefore, they will judge and criticize you if your way of being does not align with what they believe to be true.

You know how to shape reality and bend it to your will.

It is not the things themselves that trouble us, but our views of the things. — Epictetus

So, you will ignore their criticism and continue on your way.
