Lucy Lesson: Repelling People
It’s important to learn how to attract people. People repelling seems to come to naturally to some people. Lucy from the Charles Schulz’ Peanuts comic strip specialized in making others feel insignificant. Lucy once said to Charlie Brown, “You are in the shadow of your own goal posts!
You are miniscule. You are three putts on the eighteenth green! You are a seven-ten split in the tenth frame…You are a missed free throw, a shanked nine and called third strike! Do you understand? Have I made myself clear?”
Everyone is wearing an imaginary sign, “Make me feel important.” Read it. Then do it. Set yourself apart from the crowd. Be a people magnet – by choice and practice.
