Change The Way You See The Storms Of Your Life

Work at removing ego as the dominant influence over you. Release the need for the attention of others and witness how people become drawn to you naturally. Let go of having to win an argument and being right by changing the atmosphere with a statement such as "You're very likely correct. Thanks for giving me a new perspective."

This kind of proclamation gives everyone permission to relax their rigidity because you have no need to prove yourself or make others wrong. If you change the way you think, the life you're living will change, so be willing to say, "I don't know" or "I'm uncertain as to why I even did what I did."

As Lao Tzu reminds you, when you suspend your pomposity and rigidity, others recognize themselves in your flexible nature, and they'll trust you.
