I let TWO people down this week! And while I hate disappointing people, it was instructive and also helped me clarify my thoughts around being disagreeable and what it really means. Being agreeable all the time means you are putting others' before yourself. Nothing wrong with that - in the SHORT TERM. But if you're doing that ALL the time, then you're probably falling short of your potential. Sometimes it's necessary to put yourself first to move forward - just be prepared to disappoint. But knowing that I'm prioritizing myself eases that pain.
00:13 - I'm a disappointment on two fronts
00:35 - Disappointment #1
01:25 - Breaking the news
02:00 - Her perspective vs ours
02:28 - Disappointment #2
03:20 - May not have been an easy way out
04:05 - Unwritten social contract
04:35 - Breaking down disappointment
04:55 - Agreeable people are taking a backseat
05:40 - Letting people down is prioritizing YOU
