Long but worth the read. A K.D.D. excerpt
Every day of our waking lives, most of us look in the mirror and admire what we see physically. However, we dismiss peering into our soul, our being, the entity that is the fabrication of who we really are, for authentic change.
We don’t challenge ourselves to change negative behavior because we defend it by believing or saying, “this is who I am, you can’t teach a dog new tricks, or “I’m set in my ways”. Which is utterly ridiculous! The actual reason is, some of us are comfortable being regular. We are comfortable being rude and acting in such disfunction that brings attention to us; attention that we feed on as if it’s a good thing. According to a majority, some attention is better than none. Let’s stop fooling ourselves, cheating ourselves of becoming a better version of who we could be. Our futures, our relationships, our faith, our careers, and even our passions are tied too and depend on our behavior.
Family and friends please be honest with those you love. If they are doing the fool, tell them, if they are rude and condescending, tell them. If they are self-righteous and judgmental, tell them. If they are self-seeking and narcissistically, tell them, but not without love and admittance of your need for change, first.
Looking in the mirror, is an amazingly awesome experience when you honestly embrace all there is to see, outwardly to the core, good, better, best, beautiful you, beautiful me. Change….
