People have a lot of opinions regarding others. Some are good while some are not, some may affect us, some may not. We can't control the way people think about us but we have the power to control the way we respond to them. Do we get negative feelings when we don't like the way people think about us or do we just let it go? Yesterday an office mate expresses her opinion about me and my course. she said that the course that I took up doesn't suit my personality. Honestly I was really saddened upon hearing it. Is it true that my course doesn't suit me? Before, after resigning from my first job, I was wondering and asking myself if I made the right choice of course (I was having a career crisis back then). I was trying not to get affected and not to self pity myself again. I talk to God and told Him all about it, while airing my feelings to God, a realization came upon me (and I believe that this realization is what God wants me to realize). Why would I be affected by an opinion made by human? People could have thousands of opinion about me but none of them are facts they are just merely their viewpoint. Why would I believe or be affected with what she said about me and the course that I took up in college, when she is just only human, making only human judgement. In the first place if the course that I took up doesn't really suit me, it is my creator who would have known it first. Since He is the one who created me, He would basically know what suit and what doesn't suit me. If the course that I took up is not for me, God would have given me signs to quit it, but on the contrary He give me signs to continue on my course. Signs like God had help me through college getting good grades especially in my majors, had help me in my review and the board exams. I would choose to listen to the voice of truth.
