IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU
“Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothing others
do is because of you. What others say and do is a
projection of their own reality, their own dream. When
you are immune to the opinions and actions of others,
you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”
Don Miguel Ruiz
We can easily get overwhelmed or down on ourselves because we
care too much about what other people think or always take things
personally. Who are we trying to impress and why? We only need
to care what we think about ourselves. We can fall into the trap of
buying what we do not need to impress people we do not really know
or like. We also may assume other people do things directed at us
personally. It is not. Other people have their own issues and their own
problems. Do not take it personally. Funny things happen when we
start caring less about what “other people think.” We are less anxious.
Less nervous. More confident because it is not about us and other
people’s perceptions of us. We can focus on what we know is right,
avoiding what we know is wrong. The only person we need to impress
or satisfy is our true genuine authentic self. We can look ourselves
in the eye, in the mirror, and know we did the right thing. We did our
best. Other people’s worlds do not revolve around us even though it
may feel like it. We cannot control other people’s actions. They make
their own choices and lie in their own bed. We must do the same,
focus on our own choices, and make our own bed. When other people
do things, do not take it personally because it is not about us, there
are larger issues at play.
