None of my business what people think of me...

The girls and I are hoping for a snow day tomorrow ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿคž
At 8PM I said, โ€œletโ€™s go to target and get new sleds and do late night sledding!โ€
So Lily said โ€œIโ€™ll go to the store with you but only if you wear this hat with meโ€. So cute and nerdy ๐Ÿค“ 
When we walked into the store she said โ€œpeople are looking at you! Do you care what people think?โ€  
๐Ÿค”Ahhhh a struggle I used to battle daily.  How about you? Ever not do things because youโ€™re too concerned with what others may think?
I said โ€œNo Lily, I have learned that what people think of me is none of my business. I know that I lead with my heart and do the best I can in any given moment and not everyone is going to like me. I also know Iโ€™ll make mistakes. That said, what I think of them matters and will determine my quality of life.โ€ 
BLINK BLINK
With big eyes she said โ€œwhat does that mean?โ€
โ€œWell Lily, if I have judgemental thoughts towards others, that darkness will only
impact my happiness, my joy and take my peace. So Iโ€™ll choose to see them as a part of me and to extend love.โ€
Her response was deep. 
โ€œI dig, yup I dig. Makes sense Mom.โ€
