REALITY
Yesterday was an interesting day, and upon reflection, one where many things were learned.
I am involved in a few social/business networking sites. I've been active on them, and after a year of not asking for anything, I sent a number of emails out to "business" contacts at one site asking them to join this site. No money, no commitment, just a small bit of effort, and pointed out that in doing so, they may gain a key to helping someone else. The site of course was my own, www.hopeserenity.ca.
I am not sure why social networking on "mass" sights has become so popular. After the personal research done yesterday, I have to conclude people love to accumulate contacts, but are truly not interested in taking the time to support one another. Much like life I guess. I'm certainly not surprised but was disappointed in a couple of the responses I got.
Could they be the ones with a problem?
The other realisation yesterday was that the mirror can really tell all. There is a piece of prose, "The Man/Woman In The Mirror" that all should read. There is no better indicator as to whether a person is prepared to make change, and change has to start with self-honesty.
I have blue eyes. I can look myself in my baby blues in front of the mirror and say "Keith, you have blue eyes". I am very comfortable. It took me a long time to look in the mirror, state that I have "issues", and feel that that statement fit. Over a period of time I accepted the truth of my issues, and once accepted as readily as blue eyes, I was able to move forward and make change.
For those starting a journey of change, be aware. Not all your "friends" will support, your change may scare them. Be prepared to have periods of loneliness, but be open to the new people you will meet on your journey. As balance comes into your life, you will achieve a different balance in relationships!
So what got hammered home yesterday? I likely spend too much time on electronic networking (too much time on my hands) and that to work a progressive journey I must first accept, then have the courage and perseverance to face the changes that are going to occur, and this is very true in the relationship side of a journey of change!
I'm going to make today a great and positive day!!
