Oi, oi, oi!
You’ve heard it, right?
How you use language matters.
As I’ve got older, I’ve realised that definitions are largely meaningless. You just can’t get people to agree! Most inconvenient, yes?
Well, life is about choices.
You want to be right?
You want to be happy?
You want to be successful?
You want to live ALL your dreams?
Then you have to let something go. A sacrifice is required.
The greatest thing you can sacrifice is your ego, the need to have all the answers, to ignore what people say, to reject wisdom because you’re so very knowledgeable.
I myself prefer a strong dose of wisdom.
When people say ‘their truth’, what they’re actually talking about is their perspective.
Truth is simply what happens and then people, inevitably, bring their belief systems, opinions, preferences and biases. It’s going to happen my friend and, truthfully, there’s very little you can do about it. It’s better to focus on your influence.
What are you doing to improve things?
Are you tending your own nest or invading someone else’s?
Look at the so-called freedom fighters telling you stuff, like it or not, they thrive on conflict. They absolutely love it. You can see it on their faces, in their body language and the way they behave.
That’s not my bag.
So I will say this, yes, think about how you would like to appear to people. What’s the very best version of yourself to put forward?
