I worry incessantly that people will think my motivations are bad.

This is not because they are and I am trying to hide the fact. Quite the opposite. It is particularly when I’m doing something good that I worry people will think I have some nefarious intent.

In reality, I suspect that no one cares what my intent is. indeed, I doubt they spend any time thinking about my intent at all.

Our ego gets in the way if we let it karma which we do not have to do so it might be a lifelong struggle for me and probably most!
