I often wonder if I’m genuinely OCD. I have an obsessive need to know it all! But it frequently comes at the expense of true human connections.
Listening is hard, we need to speak – probably because we’ve not been listened to very well. It can all feel like a fight.
I must have all the answers, immediately if not sooner.
STOP!
LOOK!
LISTEN!
The whole world is not just about you but your experience is down to how you respond.
I’ve been a child, a fool, a lover AND a fighter, a questioner and, sometimes, a doer.
We’re all human you know and we have our weaknesses and our desires. Sometimes it feels overpoweringly frustrating when people don’t just know what we’re thinking and feeling and why they don’t behave in the way we want.
Stop being so shallow and stop being so entitled at the same time. Humility is where it’s at my friend. Really humility to accept that you’ve fucked things up necessarily and open yourself up to the solutions to stuff that are actually quite simple.
Be calm.
Be honest.
Have willingness.
Slowly and steadily, work your way through each experience. There is no race nor hurry. There is plenty of time.
Relax! And you’ll get more done. The Important stuff.
