Day 19: Know

Dec 19, 2016 | Life

Day 19 of my 2016 Motivational Advent Calendar: when you know who you are, other people's opinions can stay with them.

From the advent calendar I filmed, one short video a day. First published December 2016.

Know

"I put zero weight into anyone's opinion about me because I know exactly who I am" (Gary Vaynerchuk, #AskGaryVee)

How well do you know you?

I know that sounds like a weird question, but so many people are so worried about validation from other people. When you know you, when you know who you are, when you know your own truth, none of that matters.

If somebody else has an opinion of you, it's their opinion and they can keep it. You don't need anyone else's opinion of you to know who you are. And just as their opinion of you doesn't matter, your opinion of them doesn't matter either. That part's your business.

So, how well do you know yourself and your truth? And how well are you living it right now?

The book: #AskGaryVee by Gary Vaynerchuk.

Spend a few minutes today on one question: how well do you know yourself?
