The art of not taking things personally
My problem is taking things personally is what motivates me to do things, because of it I&#x27;m always stressed or anxious ,
the social points author mentioning is reasonable but for me its hard to separate things, which to take personally?, which not to take personally?, because the opposite party is commenting my o&#x2F;p.<p>The authors mind is what i imagine a peaceful mind look like, ``` yeah i want to be like that someday?```, but its hard to avoid the triggers,<p>like if my manager arrange meeting with me for certain time, but always late for meeting, so i can imagine two things
1) he does not give enough important for the meeting with me (because on customer meeting he is on time)
2) he is lazy most of the time but on customer meetings he comes on time, so i have to imagine him being lazy<p>so by the article&#x27;s point i have to choose 2nd point so i don&#x27;t take it personally, but my mind knows I&#x27;m a subordinate and not as important as client, or he is comfortable with me<p>---------
above is how my mind try to reason to take it personally, :-) could someone suggest how to escape it?
