It's Not All About You
It’s Not All About You
So a colleague bad mouthed your work, the client didn’t like your product, a friend doesn’t call any more, you get one bad evaluation after your speech.
What to do? Stop and rethink. It’s not about you.
They don’t know who you really are. They can’t get inside your head to understand your thinking. When someone yells at you for whatever reason – it’s usually about them.
It’s about THEIR fears, insecurities, problems, mood and THEIR agenda….not yours.
Try not to take it personally. Do your work, provide the best service/product and be the best you that you can be.
Don’t waste your time trying to please everybody. That SO never works!
