I posted another thread about not liking to be told what to do.
Don't tell me what to do
In there, I made references to feelings of inferiority.
For me, it was too easy to look at others around me an feel that they were all better than me. Why is this the case? Why do any of us look at others with comparison? Why is it so easy to look at a homeless person or mentally challenged and feel that we are so much better?
I don't know the answer to this.
I do know that it should be dropped from our perception though.
There was a time in my life where I worried about the impression that would be implied to others. How I dress, cut my hair, shave my face, car I drive, and the list goes on.
I went to a meeting one day with high powered real estate agents, lenders, and attorneys to talk about a deal "I" was working on. They were dressed in suits. I walked in with shorts and t-shirt. One of them made a comment about wishing they could be dressed like me. But at that time, I did not give a shit. I only cared about the deal at hand.
Another "eye-opener" for me.
I believe that fear is the biggest driver for the way we look at others. Eliminating fear from our existence will lead to a much more comfortable life.
