It's not all about me.
This week I did my best to know that it isn't about me.
I had varying amounts of success.
This is okay. Things got better, even when it wasn't me who had the right answer. I am okay with this.
I got to grin and know it wasn't about me saying or not saying something.
I got to take a breath and realize that quirks in other people's schedules weren't about me either.
Having to wait twice because the planes got in early... that wasn't about me either.
I let some one say to me "Grow Up" with a derisive tone. It wasn't worth fighting over. I can let it slide when someone has opinions because they lack access to knowledge of how things really are. I don't have to prove myself to them. Their anger isn't about me, it is about their perception of the situation.
Someone's reluctance to see me isn't about me. This time I think it might have been about being confused and hurt that she wasn't told I would be there. This seemed to change by the time we met up. Joy at seeing me isn't about me. It is about the other person's feelings.
Today's affirmation: I can be okay with it not being about me.
