Work with the hand you are dealt
A lot of the psychology in self-improvement content centers on focus of control.
You need to focus on what is in your control.
Leave the external factors where they belong: Outside.
Let's rephrase the conversation.
When you are out in the world:
- You act a certain way.
- You walk a certain way.
- You talk a certain way.
People are going to treat you a certain way based on their reception.
You have to live a life that is composed in your frame of self.
Work with the hand you are dealt. You need the courage to be yourself.
There are a lot of copies, drones, approximations, and robots. People are willing to follow a herd as an example.
Lead yourself. Your future self is the example.
When you stand in that frame, the picture is something to behold.
