Welcome to Let it be easy with Susie Moore.

Are you concerned with people liking you?

This is, oh my gosh, the cause of so many reasons we hold back, we don't show up, we play small,

we pretend that we're more like other people. We can talk ourselves to fit in.

It's the power of culture, my friends. It's very, very consuming.

Most people never even realize they're consciously doing this.

They'll just think they're being responsible somehow

to do anything they can to avoid being disliked.

But I want to share with you one powerful truth, okay?

There is nothing wrong with people not liking you.

It doesn't feel good, I understand that, right?

It can hurt.

People not liking you is something that will happen, especially if you're doing anything of any substance in this world, right?

You will come against opposition and resistance.

But what if we realized that the problem isn't someone doesn't like me?

The problem is instead in fact the fact that we think that that's a problem.

The problem isn't that X, Y, Z doesn't like me.

The problem is that I think that they should like me.

Here, my friend friend is the problem. Think about it this way, okay?

Just say you go somewhere and you give a talk to, I don't know, say 500 people.

Those 500 people have five different, 500 different ideas of you.

Maybe 200 like you, 200 don't, 100 don't really care.
