My whole perspective on life changed when I stopped caring about what others thought about me and what others were doing and I looked inwardly. I was so concerned if others would think I was stupid or with the fear of falling on my face in front of them. It was crippling. I hit a point where I had to solve some problems and realized I was the root cause of these problems. I was holding my team back, because of what others may think. I took a good long look in the mirror and realized I was not that pretty anyways and who cares if I get some mud on my face. 🙂
