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

The girls and I are hoping for a snow day tomorrow πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ€ž
At 8PM I said, β€œlet’s go to target and get new sleds and do late night sledding!”
So Lily said β€œI’ll go to the store with you but only if you wear this hat with me”. So cute and nerdy πŸ€“ 
When we walked into the store she said β€œpeople are looking at you! Do you care what people think?”  
πŸ€”Ahhhh a struggle I used to battle daily.  How about you? Ever not do things because you’re too concerned with what others may think?
I said β€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 I’ll make mistakes. That said, what I think of them matters and will determine my quality of life.” 
BLINK BLINK
With big eyes she said β€œwhat does that mean?”
β€œWell Lily, if I have judgemental thoughts towards others, that darkness will only
impact my happiness, my joy and take my peace. So I’ll choose to see them as a part of me and to extend love.”
Her response was deep. 
β€œI dig, yup I dig. Makes sense Mom.”
