M.Y.O.B. is an acronym that stands for Mind Your Own Business. M.Y.O.B. is a common English saying which asks for a respect of other people’s privacy. Although this might seem like a pretty easy request it is actually something very hard to do especially since we live in a socially interdependent world. Everybody wants to know when, where, what, how and the juicier the details the better.
A phenomenal woman once told me that when you tell people about your personal business you are inviting their opinions. As a result of her advice, I’ve lived a pretty private life. When I was younger, I was always afraid of the negative responses that I could receive if I shared my dreams and ideas or if I let somebody into my relationships. I never once thought there could be a positive outcome from sharing my innermost feelings.
I asked myself did I fear negativity or the truth. After all, we’re born with intuition, an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life, but that doesn’t mean we always make the right decisions. The opinions of others may not necessarily be negative but simply their spoken truth and the truth can hurt!
Now that I am older, I have entered upon a journey to live a balanced life and follow my dreams. I realize that in order to achieve true balance in my life that I must open the lines of communication. I’ve learned that it’s not healthy to hold everything in. In doing so, you can miss out on golden opportunities or block out your blessings. I now believe that the world is not all negative. In fact, there are many positive people who may be able to help you along the way.
I created this blog to develop a dialog with mature people who have information or insight on situations that we face on a day-to-day basis and for those who may need advice or just a word of encouragement.
