…In a moment such as what I described many would panic and in the moment of panic we do what we think is right at that time. Very often without thinking. It basically on autopilot. I do think we do what is inside of us and it’s when there is nothing to stop us as we are being ourselves…
…I could understand fear of failure that might cause someone to hold back but the fear of success. I thought about it, why would a fear of being successful cause one to hold back to that extent. …
…I was talking to a friend who said to me, do we really listen to that voice or is it ignored? I will let you know at some times in my life I have ignored that voice and sometimes I have been given a big hit upside the head. As my mom would say, “when you don’t hear you will feel.” …
I’m learning how to continue to plan for everything but separate it from worrying about what might happen. It takes a while to get to the stage where we just let things go and just ride with the flow.
When we decide the changes we will make in our lives and how we will make them it should be noted that we do this for ourselves and no one else. We should make changes for what we want done in our lives and should not be dependent on what others think should be happening.
When we allow others to determine what’s right, best and important for us then we lose all self respect and control. You’re not being selfish thinking that what you want is the most important thing for you. You are being kind to yourself.
