Episode notes
Others Project Their Values Onto You
- People project their own values onto you and push you to follow paths that fit them rather than you.
- John F. Demartini encourages discerning feedback and asking whether the advice reflects others' values or your own.
Stay Focused When Passion Is Productive
- If you deeply love what you do and it serves people while supporting you, continue pursuing it with courage.
- Factor in feedback but only change when it genuinely improves your self-sufficiency or service to others.
Become Self-Sufficient Or Make A Fair Exchange
- If you're dependent on others while pursuing a hobby, accept responsibility to become self-sufficient or find a fair exchange.
- Listen to their feedback as a practical hint rather than automatic opposition.
