“We create fear or make fear go away depending on what story we tell ourselves…”
The key observation is
that as long as you are right, being misunderstood by most people is strength -
not a weakness.
If you're not seeking
approval, they have no power.
The right thing to do is often obvious.
It’s not the choice that’s difficult so much as dealing with what the choice
means.
We have to have a hard conversation.
We have to break someone’s heart. We have to do something hard.
We have to break out of the prison of how other people think we should live.
The price of avoiding these things is
making yourself miserable. While the pain of dealing with reality is intense,
it’s over rather quickly. The suffering of miserableness never really goes
away.
The choice of being miserable is the
bargain you strike with yourself to avoid pain.
