Afrobeat artist Ayra Starr has emphasized the value of prioritizing one’s own growth and self-assurance over other people’s opinions.
She urged people to put their attention on themselves and stop wasting time worrying about what other people thought in an interview with “Dose of Society.”
Ayra Starr talked about her own experience and realized that opinions are not as important as one might first believe.
What matters way less than you thought it would?” was the question asked by the interviewer.
Ayra Starr, in response to that said: “What matters less? I feel like it’s opinions and people’s perceptions of you. Trust me, people are living their lives; everybody is busy and people are hungry. Stop caring about what people think about you; people are hungry, people are tired and life is hard.”
She revealed that everyone is preoccupied with their own lives and problems, and she advised against wasting time and effort trying to win people over.
“Just do you; sometimes you are there wondering, ‘What does this person think about me?’ and they’re just there, wondering, ‘What’s going to happen today? Am I going to make it home?’. There is a lot happening in the world and if you spend your time thinking about what people think about you, you’re just going to waste time,” she added.
She urged people to prioritize self-love, confidence, and self-improvement.
“Do you. Find yourself, be confident in yourself, and don’t care about the outcome; just do. Don’t be afraid to fail; fail as much as you want to, but when you get it right, you’re going to be so proud of yourself.
“Be confident, be proud of yourself; you’re doing amazing. It’s hard but you’re doing amazing. Never get tired of trying; keep trying till you get it right. Don’t be afraid to fail and, oh, love yourself,” she said.
