Personal Growth Partial Truths: "For you to be upset, you must think you have skin in the game. What is it?"

Forget what you think you're upset about—look for what's at stake. What do you think can be threatened? Then every upset becomes a chance to go to a more honest layer of experience, get more intimate with yourself and your true nature, and relate from there.

Can this be overdone? Of course! We can pathologically hold ourselves accountable at the absence of others, become solipsistic or self-oriented at the expense of connection, undervalue the power of superficial/subtle changes, and miss the simple joys of being by always hunting for 'deeper' layers. Still very useful.
