Face What Isn't Working: Thought For The Day #45 💭✍

in #steem6 years ago

'Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored' (Aldous Huxley)

'Our lives improve only we when take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take it to be honesty with ourselves' (Walter Anderson)

Get out of denial. Face these circumstances squarely. To face what's not working in your life usually means you're going to have to do something uncomfortable. Demand respect instead of settling for an abusive relationship, or maybe even quit your job.

Denial can often be hid behind myths and widely accepted views. We don't often realise we are in denial, we use phrases such as these:

  • It's just what guys do.
  • It's none of my business.
  • There's nothing I can do about it.
  • I'll get fired if I say anything.
  • I'm sure he is going to pay me back.

These are just ways of maintaining their ignorance. ' Doing more of what doesn't work won't make it work any better' (Charles J. Givens). Do you talk of how happy and fulfilled you are when you are not?

Good thoughts. Difficult to understand fully, though. I think the words spoken by knowns are right. Once you face the truth, there will be another better way to go with. I resteemed. Thanks again.

@luppers people are afraid to point out problems for fear that a discussion will start, or worse, that they blame the problem. to improve it is necessary that people feel safe and not be afraid to express their ideas, not be afraid to ask questions.

Great post! Reminds of Ryan Holidays Obstacle is the way :)

I've read his book about Ego is the Enemy. It Obstacle is the way another book? What does it talk about? I am keen to hear!

OMG ego is the enemy is one of my favorite Rayan Holiday books!

The Obstacle is the way instills one idea into your mind - whatever's in the way, is the way to go.

We face difficulties everyday, yet we cower and change course because "something or someone's" in the way.

It's not hard to take step back, observe the obstacle and maneuver past it.

The obstacle ahead of you is your compass.

I recommend taking a look at that book. It changed my perspective forever.

Stoicism is awesome lol

Thank you for your reply :) appreciate the upvote :))!

Great to hear. Are you a reader of self-development books? If so you've stumbled on the right page! I love these thoughts, I always try to observe the ego and how it engages in my life.

@luppers, Yes, ignorance makes our situations more worse. When we face uncomfortable situations we have to hold open and clear mind so that we can handle the situation effectively and we can overcome from the uncomfortable situations. Ignorance and denial aspects will not going to make our situations better. Stay blessed.
