Don't take it personal I read that somewhere, I don't remember where (I can't remember what I had for breakfast) it struck me and stayed with me and so maybe this will be my mantra for 2010. What it means to me is that people do and say what they do and say not because they are interreacting with me, I probably don't even enter into the mix. People do and say and act the way the do because of who they are. They act that way with everyone.
Great relief, nasty people are nasty simply because they are nasty. I am off the hook, wahoo for me. I need to not take it personal, not get my feelings hurt or my ego injured. I shall put my energy elsewhere thank you very much. The flip side of this is that really nice and kind people are also that way because that's how they are, no pat of the back for old Lizzie. I did not cause them to be nice and so I get no points for bettering the planet.
This is my goal for 2010, don't take it personal and therefore no blaming others for my bad behavior.
Dear Liz,
