I was pondering and ruminating on this as I was driving into
work this morning….what drives us to be judge, jury and tour guide for the
outcome? Aren't the first two titles enough?
Earlier in the week someone said something that just didn't
sit right with me..so I went back to talk to them about what they said. As I
discussed the situation I was reminded of the scene from the Wizard of Oz where
the Wizard is exposed; there was a lot of noise and blustering. All I could
think was WOW!!!
We are so invested in being right, proving that we are right
and one upsmanship that we forget to see the process. What is actually going on
IN THE PROCESS! Is the situation
that we've uncovered changing? Is the person learning from the situation? Is
the situation changing you? Can you see that there an opportunity for you to
practice humility in the situation? All too often we develop “I” trouble and
situations become about you. We tend to judge situation based on our experiences
and then use our wounded pride to batter people into submission.
We tend to play tennis on both side of the net when we don’t
step back to look at the process…..oh, you can do it for a little while but I
guarantee that you will soon grow tired and get frustrated ….step out, step
back and trust the process!
How ya livin’?!
