Taking Control of Social Expectations and Cultural Norms
It's important to recognize the impact of social expectations and to realize that we have the power to opt out and create our own reality. We establish the rules for how others interact with us and it's our responsibility to address mistreatment. If others do not adhere to the agreements we set, it's okay to disengage. It's compared to getting upset at a rock - futile. By having difficult conversations, we can define our own terms instead of being bound by societal expectations. This is especially crucial for those striving for significant achievements, as it may lead to feeling isolated and facing criticism from others.
