Another Week...Another Lesson

I don’t typically journal on my number, but just as a quick recap; my sit-ups slipped a bit, because of the banging that occurs in my hips when I attempt them, which is no excuse. The thing with the sit-ups is I’ve grown to dislike them for what they put my hips through. The no excuse part is that there are alternatives to the sit-ups, which I’m on full force.

My lesson this week has to do with the same line of thoughts which I usually journal on, which is more my mental being. One of my previous entries, I was quite proud of where I was going with my personal growth....then this week was humbled and put down a notch or two. I had a very good conversation with a friend and won’t get into the details of the conversation, but part of the discussion was about me being quite pushed away from a certain individual’s narrow mindedness in regards to something that I feel very passionate about. As was pointed out through our conversation, I was no more open minded than the person I was upset with, which I failed to see. Another under sight of mine was the potential through my situation to grow personally and to assist this individual with the tools to open his mind to what I saw as his short coming. Rather, I was ready to bolt, because of how I originally saw the situation.

I learnt another important lesson today, which falls in with judgement and empathy. I feel I need to be more insightful and open minded to absolutely everything around me, no matter what the issue or situation. Viewing all angles before forming an opinion....

Correction in many cases could be a matter of inspiration. To inspire may allow for change, plus self gratification and constructive personal growth. The art of inspiration, hmmmm.....
