I was playing my daily squash game and things were just sucking, I just could not get my head in the game, focus was non-existent.

I started to reflect on why this was so. Then it hit me (no not the ball), I was not having the strongest business day, sales were slow on my Iron on Label Site and a option trade that I had in play was not moving in my favor, and this was affecting my overall mood.

At was beginning to get frustrated at my self for being so affected by money and then is suddenly dawned on me, “I am not my stock”, “I am not my money”.

See what I’m saying, pretty simple awareness here, but the impact was so profound.

It is very difficult to figure out who we really are. Though that topic takes a whole post, in a nutshell almost and soon to be every part of your body can be replaced, so your body is not you, take away your job, family and possessions and you are still you, whoever that you might be.

But to figure out who we are not is so much easier.

You are not;

your money

your job

your physical abilities

a blogger

a marketer

the list just goes on and on.

The beauty of this awareness is that when you have a setback in one of these areas you can remove the you from the picture. You might lose your job, but you didn’t lose you, “You are not your job”.

I don’t know if this will have the same impact on you, but I find the concept quite freeing. It means I can be less effected and attached to outcomes.

At the end of the day YOU are always you, you are not defined by your environment, but you are realized by how you respond to that environment (I like that).

I am

Surfing for some content ideas on Google Trends, I noticed that a popular search phrase was ‘who googled me’.

We always worry about what others think of us, we are often paralyzed with fear that someone noticed our mishaps, our imperfections. But google shows us the truth. Nobody is paying attention to you, they are busy paying attention to themselves. Have you googled your name yet? If you haven’t yet, you will before the hour is out. don’t for get the quotations around you “name”, this gives you a more precise search. But our self centeredness doesn’t end there, soon we begin to do name searches on our friends. No, not to spy on them, find out what others are saying, but to see if we show up more times than them. And the truth is we don’t even care what others are saying about us online, we just want to have lots of search “Results”.

So you see there is nothing to fear, everybody is paying attention to themselves, they are far to busy to see your imperfections.

If you have character traits that need fixing this is good news, nobody is watching, so either you need not bother fixing them, or you have an opportunity to work on them before they do get noticed.

If you decide to leave those not to shiny character traits as is, this could be bad news if the internet ever crashed for an extended period of time. Then many eyes might turn towards you.

But don’t worry. What are the odds of the internet crashing.
