15 years ago, someone told me over coffee that if I compare my insides to other people's outsides, I'll come in second everytime. I studied that for awhile and I must say, its probably been 10 years now since I worried about what other people think about me and what I might do, right or wrong.
Another epiphany happened when I learned to separate who-I-is from what-I-does, also about 10 years ago. Takes time. But whether I practiced or not, I got to be 10 years older anyway, in spite of myself. Glad I practiced, now stuff no longer bugs me (it didn't take all 10 years either).
