WHAT PULLS YOU OFF CENTER?

I've finally come to a place in my life where I am much more self-accepting and grounded in who I am. Despite this, there are still times when a comment from another person can derail me.

I was listening to a talk given by Carolyn Myss, and in it she addressed the issue of self-esteem and what pulls us off center. She used an example that cracked me up. I'm not sure of her exact words but it was something like..."no matter how far you think you've come, I bet there isn't one person in this audience who could handle it if someone came up to you and said, 'You know, you look pretty good today but I really don't like the sweater you're wearing, it's really hideous."

I could feel myself cringe when I heard this! I knew that this comment would not devastate me like it had in the past, but you can bet I would think twice before wearing that sweater again!

The opinionated people of the world (which is everyone) are entitled to their opinions. Other people's opinions of YOU are none of your business!
