Sometimes you need an easy win.
Sometimes you need somebody who does not ask you to be someone else.
Sometimes you need a change of scenery, or a change of pace, or a change of people.
Sometimes you need to get in touch.
And sometimes you just need to accept and let go.
But it is true.
You can be your own hero, even when you feel broken.
When someone shares a thing they heard or saw, it’s not only that thing they are sharing. They are also sharing some of their expectations, emotions, opinions.
Keep that mind as you aim to getting to the bottom of it.
Many use the greater good only when it matches their own good.
They want to avoid changing their ways.
They aim at pushing back a difficult conversation.
They prefer not to confront their own fault.
And so, they claim that it is for the good of the whole, that they cannot do otherwise, that it’s what makes the most sense.
It’s a cheap excuse to preserve their own comfort.
There’s arguably nothing worse than feeling alone.
And that’s not sitting on your own when working, staying home alone, walking in a forest with no one around you, or even living by yourself.
It is the feeling of being the only one who sees something, who feels something, who experiences something.
There are two good news though.
The first is that we are more similar than we think when it comes to what we see, feel, and experience. So, connection is most likely available.
The second is that we have the possibility to build that connection by sharing our version first.
“That’s something we can very easily do.”
Perhaps it’s true, but the point is not whether something is easy or not. The point is what’s happening that’s keeping people from doing it.
Is it a lack of clarity on what matters?
Is it that you are overreaching and micromanaging?
Is it a lack of competence or confidence?
Is it poor resources?
Is it overwhelming expectations?
People are not inherently lazy or irresponsible, so if something easy is not getting done, ask yourself what you can correct in your own doing, before starting to look outside and push the target farther away.
