They let the opinions of others (significant or not) make their decisions. They sacrifice finding true happiness for logic or "rational thinking."
I mean you could honestly sit back and watch your dream pass you by while you listen to the voices of others who have a "I'm not pleased, why should you be?" mentality.
I'm not talking about anything in specific, but several things have just brought me to the edge lately. People get so absorbed in the way they are viewed or perceived, and in the meantime someone else gets their happiness.
In the end what matters most? The opinion of people or the viewpoint of God? God is our judge. Not people.
Deuteronomy 1:17 says "...ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that it is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it."
The Bible also says not to let your good be evil spoken of, but the verse above says don't over analyze things or let the opinion of man worry you, because God is our judge.
Friends are great, but God's stance is the only one that counts in the end.
