Why change??

In thinking about our emotional well being another thought to think is:

Do I need to change?  Is there any reason for me to be different?

Now if your answer is no that is fantastic, incredibly good news, because it means that you are pretty well “together”.

However, (there’s always a however), what I would suggest is this.  Instead of asking yourself if you nede to change anything, why not ask your boss, your partner, your kids or your pastor if you need to change anything in your emotional make up.

You see because our feelings can lie to us we often don’t recognise the need to change in ourselves.

I was thinking about this very point the other day when someone was attacking me publicly for absolutely no reason.  I know the person a little bit and I iwould consider them if anything, a friend.

When I had some information that could have benefit them they were very friendly to me also.  I took this at face value, genuine.  Now for some reason they had a day of publishing lies about me and being both weird and bizarrely aggressive for no reason.

If you asked them if their emotional make up needed changing they would say no probably, but it was obvious from my recent experience that there is great pain in their lives that needs healing.

We’re all like it aren’t we if we are honest.  Who wants to admit we have a problem.  Millions of marriages have failed because one partner says to themselves, “THEY are the problem, they need to change”

Even when that is true, if the wounded party would work on their own stuff a different result could often be found.

So when you get 2 minutes today just sit for a sec and think about what you might need to change, whether it’s to be less depressed, more honest, less judgmental.  How would you like to make your feelings your friends where they are curently enemies?
