“A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.” Tim Ferriss
Yet we take the popular direction, the often easy way out.
We take it personally
We allow ourselves to take on much more of the emotional baggage than is fair
We say we “Respect the Process” however we do not act in a manner that reinforces this
We scare too easy
We buckle too often
We give precious integrity
We backdown from potential conflict
We rush to fill the tension, fill the quite space
We look away
We apologize un sincerely because we do not believe what we are saying
Its what we say is in the interests of self preservation
But at what cost?
Why do we allow this? I say “allow” because we must allow this pattern for it to exist
I am not encouraging a stance of a uncompromising nature
I am not suggesting empathy is not pinnacle in our process to best understand others
I am not suggesting that anyone should be driven by Ego
I am suggesting wholeheartedly that we develop confidence
That we believe in our ability
That we live with integrity
That we embrace mistakes for learning sake
A lifetime of Learning
That we learn to recognize abrasiveness in others and deal breakers in what appear to be opprotunies which actually are NOT
Its starts within YOU and ME
Line in the sand time.
For me the recipe is KISS ( Keep it simple silly)
