You wouldn't give power of attorney to everyone, so don't let everyone's opinions shape you. The speaker trusts his wife's judgment above all; if she disapproves, something's wrong. Discard opinions from people who can't understand your goals, like Marie Kondo decluttering.
Are you familiar with power of attorney? Basically, you sign a legal piece of paperwork that delegates your decision-making ability to someone else. How many people on this planet would you give power of attorney to? Very few, right? There's very few people that I would give power of attorney to to make full financial decisions in my capacity. You should hold your power of opinion as tightly as you hold your power of attorney. Here's the thing. When someone says, I don't give a fuck what people think, that person is lying. We all care about what people think. The key is to choose whose opinion we are going to care about. I really care about what my wife thinks. If my wife doesn't think that I am doing a good job, that is a real problem. But if someone isn't where I want to be or living the life that I want to live, why would I give my power of opinion to this? They actually don't even have the capacity to understand the decisions that you're making. So my suggestion is just Marie Kondo that shit. Thank you for trying to keep me safe. I see what you're doing. I see that you care about me. I'm gonna let that go.
