My Innerpreneur

Business Growth from the Inside Out

It’s Not You, It’s Me

by Tara Joyce | My Journey | What's On My Mind

Push Here

I behave and you think it’s because of you.

You take my choices personally.

It’s not about you

My choices have nothing to do with you.

Even when they are in reaction to you.

How I behave is about me.

It’s my stuff

It’s about me. Despite what I might say.

Even when I tell you you’re not good enough.

It about me trying to control you, trying to mold you into what I think you should be.

It’s about what I think, what I want.

I want to impose my will. I want my control.

Don’t take on my stuff

Don’t react to me.

Don’t hurt your Self and take it personal.

Remember it’s not you, it’s me.

When it’s about you

You’ll know it. You’ll feel it.

For I’ll be giving to you the things you need.

Like love and support.

If I’m not offering those things, please believe me, it’s not you, it’s me.

I saw the book Karma Queens, Geek Gods and Innerpreneurs in the bookstore and despite the fact that I had little interest in the book’s overall themes, I bought it. I was compelled by the term, Innerpreneur, and intrigued by the people it described.

It spoke to me. I connected with it. I didn’t totally understand what being an Innerpreneur meant but I found truth in it.

I can’t take ownership of these feelings, these thoughts. These...
