I spend an awful lot of time feeling right. I know everything. I have every answer. I think everyone else in incompetent.
Why do I do that? Why do I try to fix? Why don’t I let people tell me the answer? Why don’t I think they’re capable? Why don’t I let them be better than me?
They’re answer is the better choice. I can listen. I can let others lead.
Why do I think they need to be rescued? What’s happened that I am certain they can’t do anything by themselves? Why am I so frightened for their safety and protective of their feelings at the sake of their feelings?
I think I’m an asshole. I don’t know better. I don’t know everything. Is my behavior is reinforced? Expected?
I will not fall in line to be the way I’ve been. I will be in the present. I’ll let others lead. I’ll listen. Today.
