If other people's points of view weren't real, what would I choose?

How often do you limit your choices – before you even consider them – by concluding that other people won't approve? 

Do you ever say something like “My husband/wife/partner wouldn't agree”, “My parents wouldn't like it” or even “No one else does that, so what would everyone think of me?” 

Is worrying about what other people think one of the main reasons you give for not doing something?

​What if you took other people out of the equation so you could see what you'd really like to choose?

If you'd like to find out, ask yourself “If other people's points of view weren't real – if everything were just an interesting point of view – what would I choose?” 

How many of the world's great science, social, cultural, business and other innovations and discoveries have come from people doing what they loved, and knowing what was right for them, no matter what other people thought was real, true, or possible?

What could be possible for you if you listened more to you?
