If you are doing things because you "should", or doing the opposite because someone told you that you "should," you are still disavowing yourself from your own power. <BR/><BR/>Isn't it easier just to begin with responsibility and avoid the middle stuff? <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your feedback!!Damon L.

Even uncomfortable decisions...it feels so much better right AFTER I take responsibility, even if in the moment it's painful. Every time someone else says I "should" do whatever they think I "should" do, I am such a rebel at first (and malleable later) that I turn the other way and do the opposite...then, I feel guilty that I'm not doing the "right" thing by what someone else's standards are, so I do what "should" be done and then realize it's wrong for me. So confusing...and so simple to take responsiblity in the first place, huh? I guess that would be considered self-manipulation in a way...coming around to your own truth eventually, but manipulating your way through the crap first.HoneyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888889755881191994noreply@blogger.com
