Have you ever felt held back by the fear of being judged?
The quote above inspired by a Modern Wisdom podcast episode with Alex Hormozi resonated deeply.
It’s easy to get caught up in the opinions of colleagues, peers, or even family members.
We crave validation and can allow external judgment to dictate our choices.
But in the grand scheme of things, these judgments are often temporary and often stem from individual perspectives, not objective truths.
This isn’t to say we should disregard all feedback.
Constructive criticism from trusted advisors or mentors can be helpful for growth.
But it’s crucial to differentiate between well-meaning feedback and mere judgment.
