this is going to be about the importance and power of your reputation and why ensuring your reputation stays in tact is the only way you’re going to get far in life.

your reputation is gold. actually worth more than gold.

i think we have reached a point where people take the phrase “i don’t care what people think about me” a bit too deep? (1).

what people think “don’t worry about what people think” means:

• act a fool in public with complete disregard for other people
• do low effort work when you’ve fully committed to something because “it doesn’t matter what they think of me”
• engage in activities you truly don’t want to engage in for the sake of proving to yourself that you don’t care what others think about you (drinking, drugs, anything else ) when in reality you don’t actually want to do that
• ruin your own reputation, show up very poorly, and consistently not showing basic respect.

this above definition of not caring what people think is simply arrogant. no you’re not on some spiritual journey on the way to finding yourself by doing any of the above. don’t kid yourself. you’re not “being yourself,” you’re not “protecting your energy,” you’re just an a**hole lol who is ruining your own reputation.

what it actually means:

• fill
• fill
• fill
