We take time to nurture all our important relationships.
Family.
Friends.
Colleagues.
However, what about the relationship with the most important person, i.e., ourselves?
What is our response when people criticise us?
What if they don’t give any reaction?
How do we stay grounded when they celebrate us?
Their responses may change.
But the inner stability is a result of our inner conversations.
We don’t control what the world tells us.
We control our reaction to what the world tells us.
The last line Shook me “we control our reactions to what world tells us”, and you are right, that’s the hardest part…
But honestly, is it even possible to not get emotional or lose control when hurtful words come from someone you love? It’s one of the hardest things to face.
And let’s be real – we can’t live in isolation. We need to interact with people, be part of society, and that means sometimes listening to other people’s opinions. But when we do, their words can really impact our emotions, right?
