It doesn't matter what they think of you, just go on with your way of life.

Greetings fellow Steemit members, today I share with you this story of stoicism, where we can see that nothing matters, only how you face the difficulties of your life.

It was a cold and rainy day, the wind was blowing hard and gray clouds covered the sky. Despite the inclement weather, a man was walking steadily through the streets of the city. His face reflected no emotion, his eyes stared straight ahead, as if focused on a distant target.

Raindrops were hitting his face, wetting his clothes and soaking his shoes, but he walked on undeterred. His mind was calm, his spirit strong and determined. He was not swayed by the adversities of the environment, nor by the worries of everyday life.

He walked with a sure step, as if nothing could stop him. His determination was unshakable, his will was indestructible. No matter what life put in his way, he was prepared to face it with courage and serenity.

Thus he went on his way, without complaining or lamenting, simply accepting the circumstances as they were. He knew that life was full of ups and downs, of good and bad moments, but he had learned to stand firm in the midst of the storm.

At the end of the day, when the rain had stopped and the sun began to peek through the clouds, the man arrived at his destination. He stopped for a moment to contemplate the scenery, to take a deep breath and be thankful for having arrived safe and sound.

There was nothing extraordinary about his day, nothing to make him stand out from the crowd. He had simply done his duty, he had faced adversity with courage and determination. That was his way of living, his way of being and facing the world.

I have learned that people would always have opinions, but we must ignore the noise and focus on our dreams and aspirations.

I have also learned that, and I have learned that it doesn't matter if you give everything to a person in exchange for nothing, that person will simply ignore you and go with someone who, in their opinion, is better. That's why I always say, never give yourself to a person no matter how much you love them, just focus on your future and if that person wants to be by your side, they will follow you and support you in everything you need.

One of the things I have come to discover about people is that whether you do good or bad, they will surely talk about you and that is why it is needed that we stay at a very particular point

I agree with you, that's why I'm always in a neutral point, I don't do much for people, but I don't talk about them either, I just exist there in the middle of those two options.
