Were All Human
I had some realizations occur this weekend and I wanted to share them. Now the things you read here are not things I have not said before or explained how to do. The purpose of this post is to say I am not something special nor am I above the things I teach. The things I am talking about are this
Never allow anyone to take your control.
Live your life with humility.
See that wasn't so bad now was it? Since we were younger we have all been told something similar to the two sentences above. If that is the case why don't we do them ? Well I can only answer that for myself when I say that it is to fall into old patterns. Even with all that I know it happens and will continue until I generate the leverage to prevent it. Case in point is me giving away my control I had a personal event that allowed me to do just that and create a great deal of unneeded stress and trouble most importantly I lost access to someone I love dearly.
When I look at the situation I realized there were moments that I had the opportunity to do things differently but did not because of my natural condition to go with the familiar. This cost me a price that I was not willing to pay and because of my level of commitment to my self development I know that I will not allow myself to reach the point of total loss of control again.There comes a time in your live when the stakes are to high to make bad judgment calls.
When are they too high for you ? If you can identify those moments before hand you can be proactive and make better choices.
As for the humility I learned a very simple notion know matter how much knowledge you have you can not impress your views on anyone even if they happen to helpful or correct. If you do this it should easy to correct just stop trying to convince people to like you or do what you say.
God Bless Amen
