John Eliot Quotes

They're just opinions, what people say about you. None of that stuff's true. The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself.

The scoreboard can't make you a loser. If you walk off the field with your head up, you don't lose. You don't hang your head for nobody. People in the stands think you're the greatest or the worst - their opinion doesn't make a difference. The only opinion that makes any difference is your own opinion of yourself.

I can't control what people think of me, and I stopped really caring a long time ago.

My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.

Critics haven't taught me my cricket, and they don't know what my body and mind are up to.

The best way to avoid falling prey to the opinions of others is to realize that other people's opinions are just that - opinions. Regardless of how great or terrible they think you are, that's only their opinion. Your true self-worth comes from within.

I don't dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don't know, people's perceptions of me. I truly don't.

I don't have a strong sense of self-worth unless I'm doing something.

I do think I learned to accept myself through the eyes of others when I was young because I wasn't brought up to think that I was beautiful or told I was beautiful.

Follow your instincts and do not let other people's opinion of you become your opinion of yourself.

Everybody is going to have an opinion on you; not everyone is going to like you. You can't live your life based on other people's opinions of you or let that change what you do or how you feel about yourself, because then you're not living.

We all wait for a mirror to show us who we are, to validate us. When we hear something about ourselves that we have never heard before, it feels like a blessing, and it gives power.

You can't care what anybody else thinks - even though your life is out there maybe for a bit of public consumption.

It's pretty easy to get sucked into a vortex of others and what their thoughts are and letting other people's judgments of you make you actually believe them about yourself. And sometimes you just need people to remind you that none of it means anything.
