It's Not That they Don't Believe You, It's that they are a Small-Me

When someone refuses to believe something—even when it is verifiable, logical, or obvious—it often has less to do with facts and more to do with their inner state.

Why Small-Me Resists Truth

The Small-Me operates from:

  • Fear of being wrong

  • Fear of losing control or certainty

  • Fear of looking foolish

  • Habitual skepticism rooted in past disappointments

In this state, even truth can feel threatening.
Not because it’s untrue, but because it challenges the safety of what the Small-Me has built its identity on.

How Being a SuperME Changes That

When you shift from Small-Me to SuperME, everything changes—not because the world changes, but because you’re no longer viewing truth through a lens of fear.

Here’s how SuperME helps:

1. Purpose Grounds You in Openness

When you live with purpose, you no longer need to defend your ego.
You seek alignment, not dominance.
So when someone shares truth with you, your first reaction becomes:

“Let me understand…”
Not: “Let me resist.”

2. Love Creates Space for Humility

Love—especially self-love—gives you the strength to say:

“I didn’t know that. Thank you.”
Small-Me thinks being wrong is failure.
SuperME knows that being wrong is growth.

3. Gratitude Shifts the Narrative

Gratitude says:

“Thank you for bringing this to me. Even if I can’t fully accept it now, I appreciate the light you’re offering.”

This mindset removes defensiveness and invites inner spaciousness.

Final Reflection

So yes—when someone says, “I just don’t believe what you say,”
despite clear evidence, what they might really mean is:

“I’m not yet ready to expand into the version of me who can receive this truth.”

And that’s okay. Because SuperME doesn’t shame the Small-Me.
It gently invites it to rise.

So the next time you're met with resistance, ask:

Am I speaking to their logic? Or to their wound?

And if it’s the latter…
Offer Purpose.
Extend Love.
Practice Gratitude.

And let the truth do its quiet work.

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
