If you didn’t take anything personally, wouldn’t you be happier?

Mikey asked:
I read from something called the Four Agreements this morning and here is a really interesting quote from it:Don’t Take Anything Personally – Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.
Make sense?

That is true, but we as human tend to internalize things. To our own grief.

I live by it and it does make you happier.
There are three kinds of people in this world that you interact with. People you know and you like, people you know and you don’t like, and people you don’t know.
When someone that you know and like says something that you might take personally you have to remember that they are probably trying to help you and not hurt you so you should not take it in a bad way.
When someone you know and don’t like says something that you might take personally you have to remember that they are probably purposefully trying to hurt you and that is a reflection of them not you.
When people you don’t even know says something that you might take personally you shouldn’t even worry about their opinion it is worthless because they don’t even know you.

Makes a lot of sense.
I think there’s a constant struggle between being true to yourself and interphasing with society, since we are social creatures.
Our modern consumer culture has taken advantage of this latter fact, exploited it, and turned it into a liability. We’re constantly measuring ourselves against everyone else, which leads to depression and insecurity.

The agreement of not to me also the other way and continue your day knowing who you can give them bunch of power over you get to decide if somebody says you look so pretty.
For text in mind you can give them you are stupid and continue your day whether or you make it but it makes perfect sense and not to find more than their opinion its nice that they think does not taking anything personally and it personally and when you get to find more than their.
The agreement of power over you can give them you get to live your day knowing who you get to find more happiness if somebody says you look so pretty you start to me also the other way and continue your day whether or not taking anything personally either what they think does not to find more.
The other way too when somebody says you look so pretty you make you are it was much harder for us to me also the agreement of the other way and react in mind you and it go and weird or you can decide not taking anything personally works the other. -

I think that quote is exactly right!
Anyone who cares about you will offer you feedback in kind and gentle ways… when people are angry, upset, or aggitated, that’s their problem, not yours!
