I like the 18/40/60 Rule: When you’re 18, you fret about what everyone is thinking of you; when you’re 40, you don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of you; when you’re 60, you recognize nobody’s been thinking about you in the least.
Surprise, surprise! Most of the time, nobody’s thinking about you in the least! They're too busy fretting about their own lives, and if they're thinking about you in the least, they're questioning what you're thinking about them. Individuals think about themselves, not you.
Think about it-all the time you're wasting fretting about what others think about your thoughts, your goals, your clothes, your hair, and your house could all be better spent on thinking about and executing the things that will accomplish your goals.
I recognize now that individuals are not thinking about you and me or caring what is stated about us. They're thinking of themselves-before breakfast, after breakfast, and right on till 10 minutes past midnight.
They would be a 1000 times more concerned about a slight headache of their own than they would about the tidings of your death or mine. Let’s stop wasting our precious energy fretting about what other people think of us and direct it into producing our ideal lives, shall we?

Rather than seeing each hard or challenging event as a minus, he saw it for what it could be-something that was intended to enrich him, empower him, or forward motion his causes.
