It is worth remembering that putting yourself at the center of things, considering yourself the most important person in your life is not wrong. We need to love each other and we need to affirm ourselves to be very important people in the lives of others. However, in doing so, some risks become visible:
1 – You take any and all comments that you consider aggressive as a personal offense
We are human beings, people subject to mistakes and successes and we must be open to constructive criticism.
2 – Do you believe that everything is some kind of stalking?
Remember: not everything they are talking about is about you. People know other people. Let go of that thought, okay?
3 – You feel responsible for everything
Not everything is within our ability to resolve. Problems and issues will always exist. What will be worth is the way to face each one of them and each person has their share of responsibility with their life, okay?
4 – You feel guilty
As in the previous item, do not feel guilty about problems caused by third parties. If you act in this way, your health will be harmed, as well as your daily life and the lives of the people around you.
Putting yourself at the center of everything might not be a good idea, right? The ideal in this sense is to place yourself as the protagonist of your own life, being a person who runs in search of your dreams and goals and who is not shaken by the bad weather that life provides.
It is important to be aware of your actions, but never depend on others or something external to change your life. The important thing is to put yourself at the center of your own life and not other issues.
“Even if you are hit by a storm of wind and rain or even if you are surprised by trouble, pray with maximum courage and move forward without being discouraged. Only the youth who defies unfavorable circumstances raises the flag of glory.”
