As ander se opinie jou drome wil kortwiek

As ander se opinie jou drome wil kortwiek - Lynette Beer

Verlede jaar het my sosiale media span die volgende aanhaling van my op een van my Facebookblaaie geplaas… “ My passie is groter as ander se opinie. ” Dit blyk ‘n gewilde aanhaling te wees want binne ‘n paar uur het ‘n paar duisend mense dit gesien, is dit ‘n klompie kere “gelike” en nogal baie gedeel.

My passie is groter as ander se opinie. - Lynette Beer

My eerste reaksie was om bly en dankbaar te wees dat soveel mense iets sien wat op my blad gedeel is, maar dit het my ook laat dink. Is my passie regtig groter as ‘n ander se opninie? Jy sien, kommentaar en kritiek die kry ek uit die aard van my werk baie. Ingeligte kritiek van vriende waardeer ek opreg, maar soms is daar mense wat opinies sal uitspreek of iets sal sê wat totaal ongevraagd is en seermaak.

As ek kyk na die kommentaar wat sportsterre byvoorbeeld moet verduur en verdra op sosiale media dan kry ek hulle jammer. Die een week is iemand ‘n held wat die wedstryd wen, die volgende week word dieselfde persoon uitgekryt vir al wat sleg is as die span minder goed gevaar het. Tog is dieselfde manne, en natuurlik vroue, week na week terug op die veld of baan om hul sport te beoefen.

Hulle passie is duidelik groter as ander se opinie. Die afgelope tyd het ek myself ook vasgeloop teen mense wat die spreekwoordelike stokkie in die wiel probeer steek. Dit het eers seergemaak en toe word ek kwaad. ‘n Goeie kwaad, want dit het my aangespoor om net nog beter te doen. Deur die genade het ek my visie voor oë gehou. Die droomwat al van kleinsaf binne my brand om ‘n verskil in mense se lewens te maak. Die droomwat vir my ‘n werklikheid geword het en wat maak dat ek nou elke dag met vreugde my passie kan uitleef.

Is dit elke dag ewe maklik? Nee, soms sou ek ook langer met my hartsmense wou kuier, of bietjie later wou slaap in plaas van die vroeë vlug op die lughawe in te wag, maar verruil sal ek my passie vir niks verruil nie.

My advies aan jou as mense se opinies en ongevraagde kritiek jou wil verswelg, is om vas te staan in die geloof, jou kop op te tel en aan te hou om jou droomvlerke te gee, want jy moet doen waarvoor jy geroep is om te doen. Behou jou visie en staan sterk, jy is gebore om ‘n suksesvolle lewe en ‘n gees van uitnemendheid te hê!

The Impact of Temperament on Communication

By Lynette Beer • 18 Apr, 2023
Communicating is a vital life skill that does not come naturally to all. When it comes to talking, the Red and Yellow temperaments have no problem at all – to the contrary, they are talkers par excellence. As the storyteller and performer, Yellow could make an impromptu speech with little or no warning, while Red could persuade a large group to follow his course or buy into his concept. But listening – the other crucial ingredient of communication - is a skill both Red and Yellow must practise.

Navigating Romantic Relationships with Different Temperaments

By Lynette Beer • 01 Mar, 2023
Although opposites often attract, there is no scientific proof that this is the norm. However, it is common to find an introvert marrying an extrovert or a people-oriented person finding a task-oriented Red or Blue attractive. This could be a subconscious step to compliment him- or herself or simply make sure that he or she does not have to perform a duty that does not come naturally or comfortably.

‘Know Thyself’ has never been as crucial as in the parenting role. Parents have often told me that the child they battle the most with is the one that resembles them – in character and temperament. Flaring up against young Jimmy because he shows signs of your own shortcomings is human – but not fair.

The Groovy Green Temperament and Decision Making

By Lynette Beer • 01 Mar, 2023
Groovy Green hates making decisions – it comes with the temperament… He or she is a master procrastinator and good at passing on the decision-making buck. Feeling unworthy and not ‘good enough’, clever enough or competent enough to make any decision, is almost a natural reaction for our Green brothers and sisters.
