COMMANDMENT V: DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY
Taking things personally is about self-importance, “the maximum expression of selfishness,” where we assume everything is about “me.” As a famous author once said, “Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of them.” The actual words said by your loved one are not what is hurting you; it is that you have wounds that are touched by what was said.
Let it go and you will let yourself be free from the part of your ego that is causing you pain.
