GET A NEW LENS
Last night I was giving a workshop. Many of the people who were there are stuck in their lives. I see so much of that with the people that I encounter in my life.
They process over and over again what’s wrong and what they don’t like. For example if they are talking about relationships so much effort goes into changing the other person and into making them fit their pictures. Does that sound like you? Perhaps a little bit. Because we are consumed with the problem in our relationship our entire life is filtered through that lens. Perhaps we need to change the lens but how do we do that.
We need to create a different picture. We need to think of something much grander. For example instead of thinking about how the relationship is preventing you from living your life, think about what your grand vision is. Think about how it would feel to be with your soul mate. Perhaps you are with the wrong person and are afraid of being alone…Or are concerned about the consequences of your actions on other family members.
Instead of complaining about your work environment, focus on one that supports you and in which you thrive. Don’t lose sight of what it is you want. You deserve it. You don’t have to settle for anything less.
