Advice: Afraid Of Changing Out Of Fear Of Public Opinion

Photo Credit: www.pinterest.com Hello Everyone! Is your Thursday afternoon working out for ya? Let's finish those work shift/home obligations and get ourselves home. Okay? I'm having another day where I'm fasting. My co-worker talked me into eating part of a Legendary Foods protein bar. This one is birthday cake flavored and actually tasted amazing! I'm going to order me some on Amazon so I can bring them to work to share with the homies. Thankfully, there are still no issues on my jobsite today. As I keep begging in each post, please connect with my son John Collazo on his social media that is under his name for his "Call To Action Marketing" #CTAMarketing brand that he is building. For this blog post, I'm sharing with you a piece of advice that I shared today on Quora. This topic is on changing who you are while fearing public opinion. I'm sad for people who change the core of who they are for the sake of being liked by others. I look at it like you never REALLY know who genuinely likes you and who secretly despise you. Why not be who you are and let the dust settle? The people who like you will like you for who you are. Being your authentic self is the best move. Getting caught in a lie is the worst for a person's reputation in their career world. Once you get caught, it's hard to change that new perception of you. No matter what the hell you do, you can't get all people to like you. You might as well do what you want to do in life, be your happiest self, and give the haters something to talk about. People who fly under the radar and not making moves won't get people's attention. If you have an audience of people who don't like you, you must be doing something right. Check out the posed question and my response in the comment section below to get my thoughts on this topic: POSED QUESTION: "“You are allowed to get up one day and decide to change who you are. We don’t have to stay the way people see us out of fear that they won’t like the person we want to be” do you agree?" -By Michael Okeke MY RESPONSE: "I believe your goals and ambitions change every 10-years. The stuff that was once important to me in my 20’s is not as important in my 40’s. My goals in my 30’s shifted dramatically once I got into my 40’s. I also believe that you need to be true to yourself. Yes, you can wake up one day and make some changes in your life. It makes no sense to be inauthentic around others. I don’t agree with portraying an image of yourself that is not real. The only thing you have in life is your word. Being fake puts yourself out there to be open for others to see through your lies. Once you are discovered as a liar, you lose your credibility and trust with others. People typically do not want to do business with liars. I always appreciate a person who is honest even if they are rough around the edges and not exactly who I want as a personal friend. You know exactly who they are and what to expect. Why would you want people to like the fake you and not the real you? Keeping up with a fake persona is exhausting. You have to remember every lie you fabricated. Let go of that fear of people not liking you. As it is, you don’t know who really likes you versus the people who pretend to like you. Authentic people sleep the best at night. No matter what you do, you cannot get all people to like you. If you pop up on a person’s radar and they are either jealous or hate you, you know you’re doing something right. People usually have distain for the successful ones. I wish you much luck and success. #ConstructionTales #VerballyDisastrous” -By Leslie M.

S#2, Ep. #48: Part B- Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools on YouTube: https://youtu.be/wO8nXSRw7sU I recently shared my latest short story that has been loaded up to my Construction Tales-Told By A Woman Kindle Vella Library on Amazon. This is short story #11 entitled, "Juggling Motherhood & Working With The Tools". This short story covers my life as a widowed, single mother in the era when I juggled both motherhood and my career as a journeywoman electrician. I share the various challenges I faced and lessons learned along the way. The previous short story is entitled: #10: "Early Life Lessons & Characters To Meet As An Apprentice". I decided to write about some life lessons such as guarding your personal information, managing nasty rumors, combating sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and racism. Overall, the construction culture has improved dramatically over the past 25-years. Developing both a thick skin and a sharp tongue are key tools needed to survive various jobsite antics. I hope you learn something from this short story. There are more to come. These short stories are now also available as Verbally Disastrous podcast episodes.
