Today I was given one of the greatest compliments I ever received “that I think in such a creative way that it’s hard for other’s to keep up with let alone comprehend”. Yet if some people believe that my mind has a touch of genius I believe it might also have a touch of insanity. Not to the point of seeking professional help but in a way that continues to bang into the same door even though the key can be found under the mat. Here are just a few examples.
(1) FEAR OF FAILURE- I rush to complete my work with the mind set that it will never get done even though experience teaches me that I usually complete it way before the work clock is set in anyone else’s mind.
(2) FEAR OF CONFLICT- My mind will assume the worst about a conflict even when such a conflict hasn’t occurred with a similar situation in the past. If a conflict has occurred I assume the worst even if it’s just for a short time. I’m doing much better on this front.
(3) ANXIETY OVER FREE TIME- I’m consumed with what to fill my or my loved one’s free time even if it’s just a few moments.
(4) MAKING THE WORLD HAPPY- It’s taken awhile for me to accept that it’s not my responsibility to make those around me happy in my presence.
