9. Let others have the glory
When you are someone who has had to build up self-worth, and
rise above a lot of negative stuff, it’s easy to see why you would want to
shine.
There’s someone in my house who always tells me, that “it’s
all about me” (in a good way) and of course it is, why wouldn’t it be.
This chapter talks about letting others have the glory. And
by glory, I don’t mean morning glory - the type that when you wake up, the
bed’s been turned into a tent, but the glory of letting someone else have the
spotlight. Letting someone else take the
stage and enjoy their moment, while you watch and listen with genuine interest
- without turning the moment around to yourself.
But, I do like to share a lot of stuff, in fact I probably
overshare, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t care about what others have to
say.
I think it’s a good idea for my future more relaxed
gracious self to start putting the spotlight on the other person. Will that be hard –
probably, will I give it a go – definitely! Will it do anything? I don’t know,
that remains to be seen but apparently, I will look forward to gaining a quieter inner
confidence.
Note to self: It’s not
all about me, all the time, but that's okay, cause when it is about me, it's gonna be all about me.
