STOP!!!!

Stop congratulating yourself, patting yourself on the back, or looking for others to give you the thumbs up:

For putting out fires that were really started by you

For handling crises you keep creating

For navigating through obstacle courses you devised yourself

For dodging bullets when YOU keep pulling the trigger

For surviving deadly courses you keep laying for yourself

All this motion can give the false impression that you are making strides, learning and growing, when in fact you are just running in circles.  If you were really growing you would not be in the practice of starting fires to put out or dodging bullets you keep firing.  :)

STOP!  Examine why, and remove the reasons you need:

To keep starting fires

To keep creating crisis after crisis

To devise obstacle course after obstacle course

To keep firing bullets to dodge

To keep laying deadly courses you need to survive

At the end of this you will have grown, learned, made strides and transformed your experience as well as the situations of your life! And, most of all, there won’t be a barrage of crises, obstacles, bullets or deadly courses to survive. :)

Remember...
