Dr. Wayne Pernell uses a father-daughter wedding dance to show why authentic living takes work. When you feel judged, that judgment reflects the judge, not you. Recognizing this truth lets you act freely despite what others think.
Chapters
Like there's going to be a father daughter dance. And I don't dance. And the truth is, and this is the work, people may or may not judge me. That was the work I had to know and get very clear about. It's my daughter's wedding. First and second, a father daughter dance. Everybody's going to be gathered around and they're looking at two people on a dance floor. People will judge me or not, but if they did, the second thing to keep in mind is that's about them. That's not about me. Their judgment is about them. And again, I'm hoping you get this, that anytime you feel judged by anyone else, it is about the other person. That judgment has nothing to do with you.
