Abuse your Abuse!
It’s time we stand up and deal with abuse.
It’s time we understand that it’s us who enable abuse.
It’s time we say no to the psychological and emotional trauma.
It’s time we stop beating ourselves up!
A horrible meeting, a rejected proposal, a poor speech, a failed sales call, breakup of a relationship, people unsubscribing… these things happen. There was never a guarantee that it will all work, all the time. Right!
The trolls will attack, no matter what… they are just being themselves… parasites on humanity. But good and reasonable people will also reject you at times because what you’ve done isn’t right for them or it doesn’t fits in their worldview — and that’s ok.
None of these rejections have any stake in your worth as unique human being — until you all it.
Yes, I know it’s painful to lose friends, business, opportunity… but it’s insane and stupid to suffer it for days and weeks and months. That’s ridiculous.
Here’s a remedy to abuse the abuse:
- Learn from your errors.
- Ignore unsolicited feedback. Yes… ignore it. We’ve taken feedback too seriously… and that too from people who don’t matter.
- Stop beating yourself up. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself another chance… another way… another day.
I believe we all have a choice. To live joyfully or to construct fields of misery… Choice is yours.
