I was having an Identity Branding conversation with someone this morning, and we began discussing how personal insecurities can play a role in how we "show up" to business & personal opportunities. Here is one takeaway from my advice:
Do not let your fears or insecurities assign motives to others that they have not displayed, or assign them words that they did not speak. Do not hold others hostage and accountable for the conversations in your mind that they are not a part of. It is sabotage, and in business and in life it can jeopardize your interactions, brand, and relationships. It is not the responsibility of others to navigate around your emotional blind spots. That is your responsibility to manage.
That's a tough word - but it is 100% necessary. This goes for me, too! Change your mind. Change your life. #inspire
