True story…
There was a time when I mispronounced a word during a presentation and was corrected. I felt so embarrassed, and the thought lingered.
However, when I brought it up to my colleagues during lunch, they couldn’t remember it happening!
They were surprised and asked, ‘Did that happen?’ They had been too focused on digesting the content and formulating meaningful answers in case they were questioned. You see, they were focused on themselves, on their own lives! Similar encounters had happened before.
Of course, there are kind souls and mentors who will stop by and point out areas where we can improve. While they too are focused on their own lives and what’s on their plates, they bothered to take the trouble to guide us. We should thank them.
My dear friends, please remember this subtle truth by heart. 🙏
No one really thinks about you and your embarrassments as much as you might assume. NO ONE REALLY CARES !😉
This is so freeing (good for mental health too) to know because it allows us to fully focus and channel all our energy into pursuing what really matters to us without dwelling on setbacks. 🥳😉
Keep growing, learning, and improving bit by bit, knowing that these experiences will get you to where you want to be.
A couple of potentially life changing strategies, that I shared from my book, during the interview:
1. How to effectively overcome constant email checking and doom scrolling.
2. How to be more present in your day (lessons picked up from my Commando days).
3. Why gratitude journaling probably is the tool you need to pull through difficult days.
4. One important bedtime routine for parents to better understand their young children.
5. And more..
Do share if you feel this can benefit your tribe !
Grateful for CNA 938 and Melanie/Qistina for giving me yet another opportunity to make an impact
