Stop giving yourself too much importance in every situation

You start believing everything is yours to fix. If something goes wrong, you look inward. If someone is upset, you assume you missed something. If life feels stuck, you blame your effort.

You place yourself at the center of every outcome. But the truth is:

not everything revolves around you. Not every failure is your fault. Not every distance is your mistake. Not every hardship is a reflection of your capability.

When you give yourself too much importance, you also give yourself too much burden.

You carry outcomes that were never fully in your control. You replay conversations that were never fully yours to manage. You try to architect a world that doesn’t obey personal effort alone.

You are responsible for your effort. You are not responsible for every result.

Remember, You are just a part of the equation not the entire system.

Sometimes the most mature move isn’t doubling down. It’s de-scoping your self-importance.

That does not mean we stop looking inward thinking that it would the rest of the system and not me. While the rest of the system also thinks the same.

I didnt mean "stop" introspection. I am saying that given you are trying your best but still things didnt go your way.. then just rethink the choices and pick your wrongs and move on. Dont go in self guilt which sometimes feel like a "battlefield"..

Be it interview rejections, Some of the unhappy colleagues or people, delay in hitting that financial milestone, And many other things..

Narcissistic, is the word. My boss once said to me “ you are not that important, he was true. It change my perception and now no one is important to me.
