Abraham Lincoln said that character is like a tree and reputation is like its shadow. While the shadow is what people believe to be true, the tree is the only reality. How much importance do YOU give to your reputation, i.e. what you believe that others think about you? Are you convinced that what others think is so important that you need to change some of your behavior in order not to be criticized, in order to fit in? Actually, what “the others” think about you has nothing to do with who you really are. Your “essence” is totally independent from outside judgment or criticism. Could you ever be convinced of this truth? And become FREE?
