Maybe It's Not All About You

This was sent in by a Maven follower, and frankly, the Maven isn't quite sure what to make of it. 


On one hand, admitting and embracing one's personal strengths and weaknesses is important to personal and career growth. 

On the other hand, maybe some people don't share that same level of appreciation for you that you seem to have for yourself? How dare they!

Perhaps they are annoyed that you feel a need to read their profiles and diagnose their mental weaknesses.

As someone who has been in the public eye and often criticized on multiple media platforms, in this market and others for over 30 years, the only advice the Media Maven can give you is something Mrs. McCluskey, my kindergarten teacher told me. 

"Sometimes, it's not all about you or your feelings. If you give others the power to hurt your feelings...they will. Stand tall, and be yourself. You will do just fine". 

Don't let what others say ruin your Christmas.
