Dear Lily:

I see a lot of progress in you recently, on an ongoing basis and I am so glad to see it!

You thinking is excellent, your awareness impressive to me, I am impressed overall, feel like saying: wow! So I just did.

When interacting with others, see to  it that you act respectfully, but stop yourself from overdoing being nice, reaching out, trying to please and so forth. Try to contain those drives best you can.

Regarding what other people think of you, try to think of thoughts as mental events that appear and disappear thousands of times per hour in each person, all happening in that short space in between the ears, in that flesh and blood organ called the brain. It happens in every functioning brain, every single person. Try to think  of your own thoughts the same way, appearing and disappearing thousands of times per hour, or a couple  of hours (I am not sure about the number).

Thoughts have no power whatsoever unless we act on them, and we  don’t act on 99% of our thoughts.

Best you can, focus then on what people do, on their behavior- this is where their power is and you can observe their behavior.

Do not focus on what they think- there is no  power in what they think and you can’t observe/hear their thoughts!
