It's Not You - It's Me. Really.

As a Seinfeld fan, I simultaneously laugh and cringe at the comments made by the character, George Costanza.  Who really thinks like George, let alone, shares those kind of thoughts—using their out loud voice?

Me. And I bet you, too. It’s not you, it’s me—what a great line. I can lay claim to what I really think is wrong with a situation or  another person—not me. But “it” often IS about you (me).

Thought for the week: Be conscious of what you believe to be true. Life is not about me or you. We are in this world together, but [for the most part] I can only control what I do, say, think, or feel. My feelings of happiness, perceptions of success or failure, and levels of self-esteem are within my control. I choose how to feel, react or not react, to any given situation or person. So, if I feel unhappy at work, with my family or friends, my weight, my finances—whatever the situation—how I feel REALLY has nothing to do with you—it’s me.

I hate to admit it; but, George’s circular reasoning actually makes sense.
