What a weird week this has been.

It all started with me letting my emotions get the best of me.

Which ended up with me receiving some quite negative criticism.

I should of handled the situation better but the criticism bothered me.

I kept replaying the incident in my head thinking of better ways to handle it.

I know better but no body is perfect.

The very next day I recieved a job offer which is an amazing opportunity that I’m excited about.

A former teammate texted me something very nice that is a reminder that I’m doing a good job.

Oh and my wife shared some words of encouragement.

The points is I had one negative encouter followed by three positive ones

Which one do you think was on my mind the most though?

Thats right, the negative one. Well until I went to jiu jitsu. Then I felt better.

Joe Rogan shares some good advice about this:

You’re gonna get your opinion swayed by people who just wanna see if they can affect you, just wanna see if they can fuck with you, just see if they can change you…

I took something personally that I should not have.

I know better.

But I still did it.

Here’s a video I recorded a couple years ago about taking things personally.

I need to remember that:

Peoples opinions of us are a reflection of that person.
