When you realize how many of your personal preferences are based on nothing more than other people's views of "acceptability". It becomes a scary wake up call for setting your own standards. You don’t want to reach the end of your life realizing that you let somebody else program you to be a “good dog.”
But what you may not realize is just how many people influence your life, feeding you ideas about what is “right,” “wrong,” “good,” “bad,” and practically every other subjective decision making criteria that guides your life. Some of these ideas are good for you , while others are bad. See what I did there? Hopefully you’re not taking my word for that!
Whether someone’s influence on you is bad or good isn’t up to me to decide, you’ve got to make the call for yourself. But chances are you’re not aware of how much external programming you’re soaking in. In fact, there are more people than you’d like to admit secretly controlling your life by influencing how you make your most important, life guiding choices. I say “secretly” because we generally don’t even acknowledge that it’s going on.
