Today’s Tough Love:
Other people’s behavior is not about you.
Listen, there are eight billion people on this planet.
Unless you’re going to go live on a mountaintop, you’re going to encounter other humans. The more you understand yourself and the more you understand some basic truths about humans (and yourself), the easier this whole human adventure will become.
Other people’s behavior is not about you.
How other people respond or react is not about you.
It’s 100% about them.
Let’s say you do or say something to someone.
Let’s say maybe that thing was thoughtless or was received with some pain.
That person can choose to respond in many different ways:
Anger
Blame
Judgment
Or they could respond with:
Calm
Compassion
Communication
Seeking to Understand
How they respond is about them.
How they behave is about them.
One more time for the people in the back:
OTHER PEOPLE’S BEHAVIOR IS NOT ABOUT YOU.
Have Courage and Sparkle On 💖
