Don't take it personally

in #life6 years ago

In many cases, our big problem is that we take everything personally. I used to do this a lot, and sometimes it still happens, but life offered me some lessons that opened-up my eyes.

Taking everything personally is like believing that everything revolves around you, and it doesn’t.

You’re not responsible for what happens in this world, and you’re not responsible for what happens with other people.

If someone changes their attitude towards you, analyze your relationship and the latest events and you’ll understand if it was or wasn’t your fault.

Also, when you hear mean words from someone, pay attention to the person telling those words. Here’s how to learn not to take things personally.

Realize that the impertinence of other people doesn’t have anything to do with you.

Impertinence and spite come from inner frustrations and personal problems.
Ask yourself if that mean comment or weird behavior doesn’t mean something else.

For example, if someone doesn’t smile or doesn’t say hello, maybe they’re sad or shy.

Receive criticism and comments in a constructive way. Maybe there’s some truth behind them, maybe there’s something you can learn from them.

Not everybody wants to harm you, so many words are in your favor.
Look at the situation from another perspective.

Look from the outside, think like you’re somebody else and you’re completely objective.

Accept the fact that you can’t make everyone happy and not everybody will like you. The same way that you don’t like everybody. That’s life.

Don’t forget that mistakes don’t define you as a person, and neither do ugly comments coming from other people.

Be aware of the fact that your value only depends on you, not on what other people say or think about you.

Conclusion: focus on yourself, not on what other people say. Make sure that, in every situation, you do the best you can, and when you will receive observations, you’ll not that they’re meant to help you and make you understand what you did incorrectly and how to make it right the next time.

Wow! When a man is ready to learn and ready to earn, what people think or say about him becomes a noise.
