Tuesday the 27th of August 2024 and the title of today's reflection is going to be People Pleaser. Now the reason why I'm titling my reflection People Pleaser is because I'm currently kind of like experiencing that the sort of things that a people pleaser would experience
interacting with people that are very very self-centered kind of like you know I'm trying really hard to paint everybody that I kind of like interact with in the best light but at the same time I'm also trying to be realistic with the sort of experiences
that I'm having. Now for the longest time, you know, not only during the time in which I've been blogging but also during the time in which I've been immersing myself, you know, in the music industry. The music industry, I mean the part of the music industry that actually involves people like you know, effectively networking, like making friends with or kind of like collaborating with people, like that side of the industry there.
I've been spending a lot of time kind of like immersing myself there and you know, in between the time in which like I started blogging all the way up to the point now and taking it as far back to like the very moment and the very kind of like second I guess in which I started engaging with people within the music industry right like I said I've been noticing and I've noticed that people people on this side of the globe or people on this side of the work industry whatever you want to call it are just slightly more sensitive
than the average person like I genuinely do wholeheartedly believe that if I was in law, if I was in medicine, if I was in business, if I was in sports, I wouldn't necessarily be encountering maybe not so much sports because I feel like sports definitely has an ego problem. It's very very cutthroat. I'm sure like the food industry, like the cooking industry of the chef in industry uh... you know has you use very ego driven
i know that the physical training like you know the uh... not counseling or coaching but the physical training the personal training become a personal trainer that side of the uh... industry of of her disorder cutthroat uh... bodies kinda like this is
these are the situations and the interactions that I deal with, where effectively I just find it like challenging to sort of like manage people's expectations because like people's expectations don't tend to marry up with kind of like what reality will offer. And what reality tends to offer is unfortunately, the thing is I have spoken about this before and I'll probably conclude by saying this, like when it comes to us as individuals, we are the main characters of our own story,
which is perfectly fine. However, we are not the main character in everybody else's story because that role has been filled up by, guess who, themselves. So whilst we might expect somebody to behave in a certain way that marries up with what we want out of our own life, it's always going to play out in a way that they want, you know, that other people want to play out. Like I said, it's
always going to play out in a way that they want to play out. And if it doesn't, then they're going to make sure that it plays out in that way. And so the secret behind being somebody who can navigate very well in the music industry, the part of the music industry that involves working with, collaborating with, making friends with, and networking with people, is the person who is able to recognize and take advantage of this notion and this reality by being able to find a very very happy medium, a win-win situation for both parties.
