The Needy, Indignant and the Fighter
In any situation, a person can respond with two extremes of behavior. One is to be swept along by the current like a powerless paper boat and the other is to row stubbornly against the tide.
We can ALL remember a time when we have been one or the other. In today’s episode we discuss this very thing.
Here’s what we discuss:
Lazy, incapable of taking initiative, has no goals, and is happy to simply exist then they can be controlled.
They become “predoomed” or a pendulum’s puppet
They abdicate responsibility
Wallowing in self-importance
However, we’ve been given the ultimate gift: freedom of choice, yet some are too infantile to accept the gift preferring to remain constantly dissatisfied.
People justify their actions, claiming their path is strewn with obstacles and something always goes wrong.
But that something is balancing forces and pendulums that arise as a consequence of excess potential generated by their self-importance.
Indignant - the guy on the airplane who demands his seat. A person who believes that their own wants and needs should be a priority for others would never dream that they are merely a guest in this world.
People declare war on the pendulums, get drawn into the competition, and elbow their way forward. Their entire life becomes a continuous struggle for survival.
When a person learns to break the loop with the pendulum they will have their freedom.
To free yourself from the burden of pendulums you have to abandon inner and outer importance.
We are not to be needy, indignant, or a fighter. So what are we to do? Next week we will discuss 3 tactical behaviors on doing this.
Next week we will discuss solutions as we are not to be needy, indignant, or a fighter. We MUST drop importance. Not all importance but significantly reduce it by:
Going with the flow
Guiding signs
Letting go
