Another contradiction…

I know I need to spend time with my loved ones, but those events, those other people, and/or those other priorities came first.

How easy is it for us to rationalize and plug in all the many reasons (or the many excuses…even blaming others) why we don’t find time for our family and friends, but when their gone how easy it is to lie to ourselves (and others) how we were always there for them?

And, to “fix it”…well, our loved ones are gone; so, live with the guilt and let that help to guide you to not make those poor choices again. Be real…stay with the truth…don’t lie to yourself or to others.

I just gave my daughter advice before reading this as she recently lost a loved one: “Don’t lie to yourself or to others. You may have been close to her at one time, but that WAS a long time ago. No matter how much time you did not spend with her that you could have or how distant you became over the years (your fault or not), certainly doesn’t minimize your pain and/or grief. I know you’re hurting and I am here to help you through your grief, pain, AND guilt. Because, I believe that part of your pain, part of what you are feeling is guilt. And, she loved you whether you were near or far just the same.”

Looking truth is good thing but identifying truth is a very difficult thing, so consult some one who had good experience in life to know what is truth or by our experience we can identify what is truth so accordingly turn ourself, after turning also we get temptetion towards our previous state but keep on turned state & not to give small room to turn towards back because small thing become later large like we started smoking with small quontity than it turned toward chain smoking so be aware before starting or initiating a bad habit.

One of the major reasons I started my blog is because I WANTED to create cognitive dissonance and practice what I preach. To develop the website, to create content, to increase traffic, to network, etc etc, all of this requires me to immerse myself in the habits and traits that I wanted to develop in myself.

Great article, I know I find myself in the same position everyday. It’s tough to take the first steps, but well worth the effort.

Thanks for this post. It’s incredible what simply admitting where we’re at can accomplish for us, and in my experience it has a lot to do with letting go of preconceived ideas about what we “should” feel or do. If you let go of your notion that you “should” be satisfied with your job because lots of other people are, for instance, you’ll feel freer to acknowledge your dissatisfaction with it and pursue your true calling.
