Agreement 2: Don't Take Anything Personally

Agreement 2, "Don't Take Anything Personally," advises that people's words and actions often reflect their own experiences, feelings, and beliefs rather than your true self. When you avoid taking things personally, you reduce emotional pain and misunderstandings, understanding that other people's reactions are about them, not you. This perspective helps maintain your peace of mind, as you don't internalize hurtful comments or judgments. Essentially, it encourages you to see beyond others’ opinions and recognize that their responses are shaped by their own world, allowing you to stay balanced and confident regardless of external comments.
