The Hidden Worry That Troubles People More Than You Think

Successful people don't struggle with relationship worries.
-Mi-kyung Jeon

Many people suffer from worries related to interpersonal relationships. As social animals, we are greatly influenced by our relationships with others, but these relationships don't always lead to positive outcomes.

Sometimes, these relationships cause deep pain and suffering, which can significantly hinder creative endeavors. I realized during meditation that I had been postponing my writing due to hurtful relationships. The emotional burden from others made it difficult for me to write.

Author Mi-kyung Jeon said that successful people don't get caught up in relationship worries. This reminds us that one way to protect ourselves is to avoid the suffering caused by unnecessary relationships that hinder our creative journey.

Therefore, it's crucial to courageously let go of harmful relationships. Our creative time and mental energy are precious, and we need the courage to eliminate anything that hinders them. By maintaining only truly valuable relationships in our lives, we can focus more on creative activities.
