Do Others Opinions Matter?

When do we listen?
I love opinions. I give my opinion freely without anyone asking. It is kind of my thing because I always attract people that are right where I once was. So, naturally, I have a lot of information to share about my journey. My objective in sharing my opinion/ experience is that it will inspire and resonate within the listener to go on a journey within. This is where the biggest guidance matters.
When I hear or read others' opinions. I can hear the hurt, frustration, and trauma attached to the response. Most do not realize that they project this on public platforms. When a person asks a question on a public platform I give them an answer that will cause them to look at themselves. As I said above this is my objective. When random people respond they sometimes do not have an objective other than to just have their experiences heard by giving their opinion.
These are the opinions for answer seekers to look out for. When answers start with:
"What I would do is.......
"You should leave...........
"That person doesn't love you.........
There are many others, but my point is if you are a person that is asking questions on a public platform. Just know that answers may not always reflect your question. I know we like to ask others how, why, what to do, and am I wrong. Most of the time before you ask the question on public sites or in person. You already know what you will do, BUT that's another blog post for another day.
Below is an example of one of my top-liked responses to a young stay-at-home mom looking for help from her spouse. She asked what others would do in her shoes because she was burned out with the newborn and two other children at home. She also asked how others' houses were run and if their husband help them.
I think your household should work the way that is best for your family. Sometimes we get hooked on what others do and it really puts us in a mental state. What do you want? How do you want the things to flow in your house? Have a conversation and work within that. The biggest regret I have as a mom is not speaking up. I assumed keeping quiet was good instead of having a conversation with my spouse.
I do understand that all people want to do is help with their response, but not all have the awareness to take what resonates and keep moving. Especially when they feel no one is listening around them, they turn to social media for answers. Social media can be a great way to connect to like-minded people and expand their minds to things they never would have looked into. I always tell my clients, if they want to use social media for that reason to always take what resonates with them.
There are some really great opinions to answers out there. I read and hear them all the time. If you like following others' opinions then you will love what you hear from within when you ask those same questions. You have a deeper knowledge than anyone on the outside can tap into. You have a knowledge of you. When you actively ask yourself questions. The creator goes to work to bring the answers to you. You just have to trust that what comes to your mind is how you should proceed with the solution.
Opinions from others are great, but what you have within you is better.
