You know the saying “the truth shall set you free”…well,
before it does it will usually make you angry because you’re forced to look at
some rather unflattering behaviors. Allow me to elucidate on a couple of things
that came to mind over the weekend.
I’m going to expose two types of people and really give you
cause to pause and think about why some people are draining, why you can’t seem
to get ahead or why you have no verve…think about what I’m sharing and make the
necessary adjustments.
You ever run into someone who just steadfastly refuses to
apologize? Some people are bold enough to say flat out that they’re not going
to do it but for the most part we encounter the people who blame the other
party. These people are so adept at avoiding their “SH-TUFF” that they have
blaming down to an art form. I seem to
attract these people even though I coat myself in bull- puckey repellent and
hang no-pest strips on a regular basis. I can’t imagine the level of pain and
self-loathing that prevents people from acknowledging they’re wrong. Saying the
words must trigger an avalanche of insecurities and pains.
My friendships are not based on my always saying and doing
the right thing. My friends love me in spite of my faults and flaws. I usually
come riding into their lives on a cloud of inappropriates, weaknesses and
flaws. I’ll announce them in some form of self-deprecation. My friends see past
all this madness and they push me to be my best and support me in my weakness.
I strive to reciprocate.
The other type of person that’s hard to be around is the
individual who suffers from “terminal uniqueness” Terminal uniqueness is the
belief that the situation the individual is facing is unlike anything
faced by other people. Terminal uniqueness is the pattern of behavior that
keeps you stuck in the “woe is me” and makes it possible to utilize every
excuse and justification known to man – because you've convinced yourself “YOU’RE
THE ONLY ONE”….
To these two types of folks I say GET OVER YOURSELVES!!!! Your thoughts are selfish and
self-centered…you’re not the only person in the world and the world doesn't
revolve around you. People are going to do what they do, how they do, when they
want to do it….are you really so paranoid to believe that everyone and
everything has singled you out to inflict something upon your person?
Like I said the other day….I’m learning to relax by letting
people be themselves. I don’t need to identify what type of animal left the
poop…my job is not to step in it and to avoid the animal…plain and simple
How ya’ livin’?!
