Stop Expecting People to Choose You Over Themselves
They’re thinking about their own life.
This one will save you a lot of frustration.
People are not thinking about your life.
They’re thinking about theirs.
Your boss isn’t trying to hurt you.
He’s trying to keep what benefits him.
That’s not evil.
That’s normal.
Here’s the mistake:
You expect someone else
to prioritize your life…
over their own incentives.
That’s where resentment starts.
Rule:
Stop taking business personally.
It’s negotiation.
Not betrayal.
Once you accept that…
you stop getting emotional.
You stop villainizing.
And you start asking better questions:
What do I want?
What am I willing to accept? What am I walking away from?
Clarity removes anger.
Because now you’re not reacting…
you’re choosing.
