Question: How many people have really accomplished this?
Comment: I would love to live by this lesson. I would love to live without other people's words affecting me. But he makes it sound like it's so simple to overcome, and it doesn't seem to be, at least not for me. In most cases it depends on who's saying something hurtful to you. For example, if someone close to me called me something that I had always known I wasn't I would start to question if I was wrong. Maybe I was unknowingly a 'fire hydrant'. There are many people who lack self awareness, and I can't say that I'm any different. However, I'm still making this a goal of mine. It's a big goal, but reaching it sure would be nice.
