4 Birth Months That Master Inner Zen By Their 50s
It’s normal to care what others think, to want to impress them, to want to make them proud. However, it’s important to live a life that you personally want to live. You can’t make everyone else happy, which is why you should focus on making yourself happy. Of course, it can take a long time to learn this lesson. Some people never even learn it at all. But here are the birth months who start to care less and less as they grow older…
March
When you were younger, you were overly concerned with the way other people viewed you. You wanted to be respected and admired. You wanted to be the most beautiful person in the room, the most interesting, the most intelligent. But as you’re growing older, you are beginning to care less about other people’s opinions of you because you already know who you are. You know how much you bring to the table. You know how much you have accomplished. It doesn’t really matter if anyone else recognizes your worth because you recognize it. If they can’t see how wonderful you are, then that’s their problem. Not yours. You are responsible for your own actions, but you are not responsible for how other people respond to those actions.
July
You used to care deeply about whether you were liked by others. You wanted to make every person happy, to be their best friend, to have them gush about you when you weren’t around and be excited to see you when you stepped into a room. Although you still have a strong desire to be liked, you are starting to accept that you can’t control how other people feel. You could do the right thing every single time, and some others would still have a problem with your behavior. It’s impossible to please everyone, so you aren’t trying as hard anymore. You aren’t caring about their opinions nearly as much as you once did because what others think about you is really none of your business. As long as you’re doing what feels right, you are going to be happy with yourself. It doesn’t matter if others agree.
September
You have always considered yourself a perfectionist. In the past, your desire to get everything right made it impossible for you to get anything done. You were always fretting about getting the details completed perfectly – but as you’re growing older, you are starting to care less and less about reaching perfection. As long as you tried your best, you are going to be satisfied. You aren’t going to push yourself past your limits anymore. You aren’t going to tear yourself apart. No one is perfect. You understand that now, so you aren’t going to force yourself to live up to an impossible standard. You are going to love yourself, even though you make mistakes sometimes. You aren’t going to care about getting it right every single time. You’re more concerned with having fun, with living a life that makes you genuinely happy.
