The Armor Against Criticism (Dropping the Script) #002
from The Unshakeable Mind: A Practical Guide to Consistent Happiness · host David Alexander Palahnuk
What if I told you? What if I told you that the gridlocked traffic, the skyrocketing cost of living, or the passive-aggressive comment at work isn't actually what’s stealing your peace? Would you believe it? What if I went on to explain in completely logical terms that your internal state is entirely up to you—regardless of what the world throws at you today? Hmmm... Maybe it's possible? True, consistent happiness and unshakeable peace requires a deliberate choice. We have to actively shift our perspective from one of constant defense to one of opportunity and positive expectation. Once you understand the underlying logic behind what's truly behind our "feelings," it's as simple as flicking a switch. When you see through the eyes of Truth, you realize that every human action is either an expression of peace or a call for help. Criticism is a loud, messy call for help. It has nothing to do with your worth. You don't need armor to protect yourself from someone else’s internal storm; you just need to stop stepping into their tornado. You don't need to change their mind. You don't need to win the argument. You can simply let their projection pass right through you, like wind through a screen door. Dropping the script isn't about "being nice" to them—it is the ultimate, selfish gift of peace to yourself. Let it go, and watch how light you feel. Listen and subscribe to my podcast to learn the very simple logic behind radical cluelessness and unspeakable joy. Let's be hopeful, today. We all deserve tears of joy instead of tears of anguish!
