There is so much power in the simple statement, “Be a good person, but don’t waste your time proving it.” It’s one of those truths that you could hear a decade ago and understand on a surface level. But as you grow, heal, and become more comfortable and confident in who you are, the depth of that truth reveals itself.
The more you know yourself, the less you care about how others think of you. You can’t control how others perceive you. People will receive you based on their own understanding or, in some cases, their unwillingness to understand. Some will judge you without trying to see who you are. But this, too, serves a purpose. It naturally filters out those who aren’t interested in deeper conversations or genuine connection.
The statement is liberating because it reminds us to stay in our lane—focusing on our own growth, trying to be a good person. Those who are meant to see you will see you. Those who don’t, won’t. And maybe one day, they will. But that’s not something you’re waiting for, because you’re good where you’re at, and that’s what matters.
