Letting
Things That Bother You
Be
Your Motivation
---It's
seems simple if you look at it. List all of the comments folks
have made about you...that bother you in life. Take a good look
at the list and being truthful in your response...discover exactly
why you are/were bothered by the comment. If we find ourselves
reacting to something, there is a good chance that it contains some
element of truth...somewhere.
---We
can see patterns emerge and find out much about ourselves through
this process. If we are very thorough in our self-investigation,
there is a good chance we can
reveal our primary motivations. We can see why we are the way we are
and do the things we do. If we remain honest in this...much about
ourselves becomes pretty obvious.
---Take
a good look at the source, also. If it is a boss, sibling, friend,
enemy, pastor, student, etc. It may make a difference. But...give
them the benefit of the doubt. It is very important to note: you are
NOT going to do ANYTHING
to the person who made the comment. It is the comment that holds a
truth about you AND because...after-all you are the one who reacted
to it. In essence, you owe a debt of gratitude to the source. In the
final analysis...he/she probably helped reveal part of yourself you
were unaware of. In reality, that is pretty good.
---Your
next step would follow by, actually, seeing if what is/was said
applies in any way. If
you're truthful, again - through this, the most important part of
this is – if there is something that you do that needs fixing, FIX
IT. Sounds simple enough. Try
it, you may like it.
You confront nobody...just be honest with yourself. Take Care.
