Stop Taking Things Personally
- When people criticize you or reject you, it has way more to do with them,(their values, their priorities, their life situation) than it does with you.
- When something you do fails, it doesn’t mean you are a failure as a person; you are a person who happens to fail sometimes.
- When something tragic happens and you suffer, remember that hardship is part of choosing to live.
