I was listening to a personal development podcast this morning.
He said something like this:
“Most people you do life with every day aren’t thinking about you. That’s not an indictment of the people in your life; it’s just a truth about the human condition. We are all worried about ourselves, and any reaction we have to other people tends to be a reflection of our own insecurities. If someone does have a problem with something you’re doing, it’s likely they are challenged by it, feel insecure because of it, are jealous of your willingness to chase after it, or are frustrated that your belief in yourself makes them more aware of their disbelief in their own ability. In the end, it’s rarely actually about you.” Dave Hollis

Katryna and Erica have been telling me this for a year and a half.
It is rarely actually about me.
And, I need to stop making it about me!
