Monday Clarity Moment
There are so many things I wish to share with the people that take the time to read this blog. As I am moving throughout my day thoughts come and go as to what I should be doing, should be writing about and projects I should be finishing.
Then there are the times when I sit down to write and something completely different comes from my mind to the page. I call these my "Clarity Moments".
Most of the times I have these moments at 3 and 4am when I am battling insomnia. I think I have solved chaos theories, world hunger and other mind boggling questions during those wee small hours of the morning when sleep is playing hide and seek.
I realize that things are very simple and I am usually getting in my own way by making them more complicated than they need to be.
Case in point, I currently have a situation with a person in my life that I know I need to let go of. I won't go into detail here but our relationship is toxic and more hurtful than helpful. I must let this person go yet I have found every reason in the book to believe them when they say they will not harm me emotionally ever again, yet there is a constant underlying current of disrespect that never goes away.
I blame myself for allowing this person to continue to act in a harmful manner towards me.
In this moment I know the easiest thing to do is just walk away. Cut all communication and cut all ties. It is the fear of past relationships and their sometimes rocky endings that have kept me tied to this person. That there in 20 percent of our interactions I am smiling instead of being upset. Yet what about the other 80 percent? Does that not count as a huge chunk of my life too?
In personal and professional dealings I have come to the conclusion that rather than getting upset and unprofessional I am more willing to just "let things be" and take my toys and go home. I am not here to argue and debate about how you think things should be done. This is a collaboration, not a war. It's also funny how (if you are honest) personal and professional dealings do mix, whether we want them to or not.
So for this Monday's Clarity Moment I would encourage you (and myself) to remember the Golden Rule: treat others as you wish to be treated...with the modification: or that person you mistreat may just walk away from you for good.
Thank you for reading and good business to you.
