Remember - You Go Through Yourself First

When you are confronted with a situation, circumstance, issue, feedback or result… before you respond consider "It was ME all Along". Once you have the courage to "Accept 'what is, is' you open the door to an immense level of Freedom".

In our personal and corporate life, we are confronted with varied circumstances, and there is always a choice of how to perceive them: Acceptance or Resistance. Acceptance results in clear thinking and decisive action; resistance arises from repressed thinking or unconscious impulses. This leads to what I call a syndrome of deny-defend-deflect and disastrous decision-making.

The ancient Greeks subscribed to the maxim: “Know thyself,” or self-awareness through self-reflection. In today’s hectic world, we often act or react too quickly, impulsed by subjective thinking. To know yourself on a deep level, i.e., how you think, feel, your mental models and how history has impacted the way you view the world. It is crucial for you to understand how these filters impact the way you perceive the circumstances in your life. This includes situations and interactions with others.

If you are willing to see the truth of the matter, i.e., it is YOU who has the beliefs, attitudes, opinions and more importantly the ‘Expectations’. When results show up in your life YOU are responsible for how you perceive them as YOU watch, listen and observe through these filters. The key, results manifest every minute of every day we can resist or accept them, it is all based on whether you are willing to accept that your perception of the result is YOURS. Therefore, the ‘Rule of Accountability’ is clear… you set the results in motion from your thoughts and expectations. If these situations or scenarios don’t work out the way YOU expected them to [unfulfilled exception], You are still responsible for the result(s).

Results are just that and they are not a reflection of who you are as a person. This is the essence of FREEDOM..
