It's Not About You!
by Leonard Roos
I know you have experienced it before. You may not have meant
it that way, but that's how it was perceived. You felt that it
was unwarranted and that you didn't deserve it, and you are
probably right. When all these things happen that make you feel
bad about yourself, it is time to remember that it is not about
you, but about them who try to make you feel bad about yourself.
You see, no matter how good a person you are, and how much you do
for others, there are always going to be people who will not like
you or what you do. They may have a problem with your always
sunny attitude or your patience. Or it may be something like your
race or the complexion of your skin that they have a problem
with.
There are various things that just seem to irk some people, and
then they make it seem as if you are the bad guy. The other day a
friend of mine, experienced this first hand. Someone visited his
site, requested a report from the autoresponder and then
accused him of sending him worthless junk.
Why are people like this? I have discovered that when someone
feels bad about himself, he'll try and take it out on others.
When he is frustrated because of his lack of success he starts
to resent others for having the success he so desperately craves,
but doesn't have.
So the next time someone tries to make you feel bad for no reason
at all, remember. It is not about you, it is about them. So
feel good about yourself and go your own way, because you are
only responsible for your happiness and nobody else's.
