Every Tuesday Morning I look forward to Cristi's Truth story.
She got permission from her son to share.
Over the weekend they went to a thrift store to find some vintage items where he found a cool leather jacket. He bought it with his own money and took it home and you could tell he felt so cool in the jacket and the next morning he asked: Hey mom, should I wear this jacket to school today?
She could sense why he wanted to wear the jacket so she said: "What do you think? What is your motive for wearing the jacket? Is your motive because you really like the jacket no matter what anyone thinks or do you want to wear the jacket to impress others?"
He thought for a minute and smiled and knew he wanted to wear the jacket to impress others and at that point you can make the choice if you want to wear the jacket knowing that you are doing it to impress others or is no big deal He ended up not wearing the jacket. He left it jacket at home.
"The minute that you start doing something because you want to impress somebody else you are going into control about wanting to control their perception about you. You are trying to manipulate their thought about you. I want them to think that I am cool. that is not in truth and if you continue think that way and placing you worth of how they seem or respond about you." Cristi Dame
Placing your worth on what people think of you in not in truth. I love that!
Con amor,
Vero
