They Don’t Care

Charisma. Some folk really have it.

That quality which causes people to listen and pay attention.

And I don’t know if charisma is something that can be developed, but it’s certainly something that would come in useful to anyone who is performing in some capacity.

So here is the main thing I’ve noticed about people who do have it:

They don’t care.

They don’t care if you’re watching or paying attention.
They don’t care if people don’t like what they’re saying or doing.
They don’t care if anyone is following them.

Sometimes they even actively go out of the way to put people off giving them attention. And yet, the opposite occurs.

We do listen. We do pay attention. We do follow.

This is no technique. It’s an attitude.

And for those of us who have grown up or developed fears and concerns about what people think of us, it is not something that comes very easily.

It’s a battle to be won in the playground of our own minds.

It’s also an act of kindness to ourselves.

And one of humility too.

We are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

And we can only ever learn to control our own thoughts.

Never, what other people think about us.
