Walking your Path

I talk with people everyday that tell me they think the world is in serious trouble. No doubt there are very ugly things happening outside your door and abroad. The funny thing about this ‘gloom and doom’ scenario is that most of the time, the person can not explain to me where this depression came from. They consume news headlines, catch flack from management at their job, never have time to see loved ones, and get wrapped in a blanket of warm loneliness. This is a very easy course of life to get trapped in on a regular basis.
When you ask for help and ideas, (let me guess) the individual you ask either gives some ‘keep your chin up’ short speech… takes the opposite approach and gets way too dramatic and wants to get wrapped in your problems to gossip and feel better about themselves… truly does not care and moves on… or offers you a pill or bill for $85-150 an hour! Any ‘Dr. Phil‘ type will tell you all these answers have their place and time to be appropriate (though they would nnneeevvveeerrrr label them this simplistically).
****NOTE TO SELF – Be careful of the impact others may have on you when they resort to “I have a degree, and I have 25 years experience, etc.. (example) I may have been wiping my backside with sandpaper for 25 years and after so much time my buttocks got used to it and smoothed over… but for you with sensitive skin, all the education and wiping experience in the world does you ZERO good and probably defeats your spirit more. (therefore I have done you a disservice)
My point here is this: Most people out there have an agenda of some sort, and if you have been wounded by this aspect of life.. this is the blog for you. If you have situations that aggravate you, give me the general idea and see what comes out. ‘Dr. Phil‘ types and high profile ’self-help’ gurus need publicity and have pressure to keep ratings high in order to maintain their lifestyle. I myself would rather have opinions from others going through the same situations, other than finger-pointing yahoos claiming they know it all.

Rest easy and stand tall,
