You come to understand that most people are neither for you nor against you, they are thinking about themselves. You learn that no matter how hard you try to please, some people in this world are not going to love you, a lesson that is at first troubling and then really quite relaxing.
Quote by John W. Gardner – Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Pres. Lyndon Johnson.
REFLECTION:
- Are you a people pleaser?
- Can you accept that some people just won’t like/love you?
- Can you ease into letting go of the opinions of others and accept you?
