Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s another thing entirely to dwell on a single memory that causes us emotional pain and unhappiness.
When we fixate on others’ perceptions of us, we implicitly allow them to make our decisions for us. Our life is no longer our own. And our emotional health becomes dependent on what others think of us.
Letting go of our shame allows us to accept that we’re imperfect and make mistakes.
We cannot change the fact that it happened.
When we let go of our fear of failure, we become more willing to step outside our comfort zone.
Letting go of our need to convince others that we’re right (in effect, trying to change them) benefits us in several meaningful ways.
Fear of missing out is the enemy of valuing your own time.
