Done & Done, that is beautiful. Thank you for your post! I completely agree that an important realization/key to life is to understand that the one who cares the least automatically wins.
What a concept!
LOVE, 'I Am What I Am', particularly the Dame Shirley Bassey version at Poms. The video shows an audience member visibly weeping at the end. Understandably.
Here's the super great George Carlin speaking to the same concept, this time, 'It's Important in Life if You Don't Give a S*&^':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZGo6mWjk4YOne of my major goals is to be so much in alignment with loving myself and life that I no longer invest in people and situations which distract and diminish my life.
I don't think the nervousness goes away (the author of the book states the nerves don't go away) but my relationship to the nerves can change. What I've noticed is I have zero mental energy on memories when I spoke truth and spoke up/stood up for myself. What bothers me and I obsess about are all the times I did *not*. Regret sucks a lot and I want to avoid that in the future.
I agree also that Melody Beattie's works are very good. Such a powerful brainwashing in Mormonism to rely on others for our happiness, control/enslave others to give us security, and that we must never make anyone 'unhappy' so we sacrifice ourselves for their wellbeing.
