"But I keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop moving. It’s like I got this music in my mind saying it’s gonna be alright…"
Shake it off, Shake it off
Yes, I had to repeat shake it off, as a nod to Taylor Swift’s song of the same name. (By the way it is such a fun upbeat song that I can’t help dancing to every time I hear it!)
Here are some of the lyrics…
- “I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain. That’s what people say…”
- “…But I keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop moving. It’s like I got this music in my mind saying it’s gonna be alright…”
- “…’Cause the players gonna play (…). And the haters gonna hate (…). I’m just gonna shake (…) I shake it off…”
What can we do if people judge us? or Gossip about us (spreading those nasty rumors)?
People will always judge you. No matter what do, who you are and what you achieved. So you might want to reflect on the questions: What do I want? Who am I? What are MY dreams? (in contrast to: What do people expect or want me to do/be?)
No matter what (weird, impolite, insulting etc.) words people throw at you, keep on moving (forward). Keep going- move ahead- and do not take it personal (I know often easier said than done) Follow your own beliefs and dreams. Be your own cheerleader, support system and motivational coach.
“Shake it off” means ignore it! Get rid of it.
Forget about the stupid comments and opinions which are very often based on envy. Haters often want to be like you, admire you. In many cases they also even do not like themselves (their negative comments are really more about them then you) Or they see you as a threat.
Again, why are you on this planet? In order to please others or find your own personal definition of success and happiness? Or to live the real you, in your one and only precious life?
Shake it off!
In other words: Stop listening to the negative, draining bullsh*t people tell you – especially in regards to what you cannot and or should not do.
Dream big.
- Do your own thing!
- Work on and invest in yourself!
- And follow your passion.
- These are the key factors to a successful and happy life.
You keep being wonderful you—
Lois
