Whilst on the surface the fear of others’ judgement sounds like a silly reason to not pursue your dreams in your one and only short life but, to be fair, being judged sucks!
I think school did a great job of conditioning us to believe others judging us automatically means a few bullies or bitchy individuals making fun of us behind our back.
But it’s also possible to be judged worthy of respect.
Take JoJo for example he says he wants to play for Man United, a goal most have scoffed at or deemed ridiculous (as he’s not even playing for the first team in his club) but he’s backing up his ambition with hours and hours of extra training sessions.
Now he’ll probably never achieve his dream but in the here and now you can’t help but admire his commitment.
