132 Taking it Personally

To take it personally you have to be a Magician.
Because you have to make that person disappear.
AND you have to make yourself disappear too!

If you don’t make them disappear you’d see how biased that person is in their own life:
Are they coming from a fight just before they talk to you?
Are they going through a messy divorce, which would affect everything they say?
Are they always astute and neutral in every evaluation of others?
Because you know yourself how your current attitude and events in your life affect your outlook and bias your opinions, so you must make sure NOT to take any of that into consideration when you decide to take something someone says personally.

Also, of course, YOU have to disappear too!
Otherwise you’d see how many other things and how many other times you’ve done really great things and ADD what they say to ALL that you are.
Then it’s pretty hard to Take it Personally.
