Do they even notice? 
So often we get all caught up in worrying about what other people will think. Yet the truth is that they are not thinking about us nearly as often as we imagine they are.
One week before our recent cruise, my daughter shaved her head as a fundraiser for childhood cancer research (St. Baldricks).
We imagined all kinds of weird attention on the cruise – people thinking that she’s dying etc. I packed and then wore many of my St Baldricks t-shirts to help explain why she was bald.
No one even seemed to notice the bald girl. They were far too busy with their own lives.
I talked about her twice the whole week and both of those times, I brought it up. One was to the cowboy comedian, William Lee Martin, because he has a non-profit that donates cowboy hats to children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments. The second was to a couple who mentioned that their 7-year old niece has cancer.
The moral of this story is – go live your life and quit worrying about what other people think. Chances are they are not thinking about you anyway.
Much Love,
Jonathan
