So now she also
So now she also does not acknowledge, does not say sorry, does not give thanks.
What was interesting about her story is that while she was telling it, she was obviously not very happy about who she had become. In order to become what she viewed as ‘New York behavior’ she had lost sight of who she wanted to be. As you can imagine, her comments erupted a lot of heated discussion – not least from those who disagreed with her view of New Yorkers! My point here is not her actual belief, but how damaging that belief is to her happiness.
If we look at her internal values – she probably feels that being courteous, kind, giving thanks, and acknowledging people is very important. Certainly she feels that being acknowledged by others herself is very important.
Yet her limiting beliefs are:
1) New Yorkers are not courteous.
2) People only deserve my acknowledgement if they acknowledge me first.
3) In order to be happy I have to act like other people.
In my eyes, and in yours I’m sure, all these beliefs are limiting because they are all inaccurate!
In being true to yourself, we need to decide how we are going to behave in this world – then behave like that, no matter what.
