The one trait that makes people respect you instantly

I used to take far too many things personally.

For example, a client's blunt feedback on a sales call would ruin the next few days.

A colleague's dismissive comment would replay in my head.

I was exhausting myself trying to control how others saw me.

How many hours was I losing to my rather ludicrous emotional turmoil?

When I considered those people who fascinated me the most, they didn't seem to get fazed by anything.

They could be coddled or criticised, and in both situations they'd seem chill and light-hearted.

Even if I used to feel a twinge of jealousy for these people, I ultimately really liked that about them.

They never took anything personally.

And I'm not the only one drawn to these kinds of people. I've learned it makes the biggest difference in your career, relationships and overall life satisfaction.

When you stop reacting to every slight or criticism, people see you very differently.

You become rare.

People look up to you as the calm in their storm. The person they trust when things get tough.

And this is that key trait:

People respect those who can't be easily shaken.

Here's something to consider today…

The next time someone bothers you, ask yourself:

"Is this really about me, or is this about them and their own problems?"

You may find a light bulb turns on in the back of your mind, bringing a strange wave of relief.

99% of the time, it's about them and their own issues.

We have no idea what others are going through or have been through.

They have their own thought-created illusions they chose to live in.

And not one person on this planet who feels fully content in themselves has a need to make others feel bad about themselves.

When you stop making other people's behaviour about you, you stop giving them power over your emotional state.

That's what staying calm does. It protects YOUR energy, while invalidating their shallow comment.

Most people think not taking things personally means suppressing thoughts or forcing positivity.

The real breakthrough isn't eliminating negative thoughts, but understanding how thoughts actually work.

To truly understand thoughts means to no longer be controlled by them.

When you grasp this, those insecure thoughts lose their grip completely.

My Untethered Mind course shows you exactly how thought creates your experience - and how to stop being at the mercy of every mental story your brain creates.

You won't learn to block negative thoughts. You'll understand their true nature, so they naturally have less weight.

It's the difference between fighting waves and learning to swim.

And this comes through a series of insights in the correct order, delivered by the course.

Get it here if you're ready to stop taking everything so personally.
