Whose Business are YOU In?
I shared with a client recently that I don’t attend back to school nights at my kids’ high school anymore.
She was surprised that I don’t go & asked how I stopped?
If my kiddo has a problem, I’m not going to talk about it in a room with 20 other parents. I’ll make an appointment to speak privately. I’d rather not rush from work, make dinner etc to get to the 5:00 start time. It’s not how I want to spend my evening. If you think I’m wrong, that’s ok. That’s your business. Not attending is my business. I’m ok with you having an opinion about me because your thoughts about me are NONE of my business.
What?! 🤯 I know, I get it...I’m a recovering people pleaser!
I really don’t want anyone to think poorly of me. But, if you do I can’t change that and I will stress myself out trying to get you to think differently of me.
Author Byron Katie (www.thework.com) says there are three types of business in the world:
*Yours
*Mine
*Gods (earthquakes, floods, things beyond human control)
