Solution or Problem
As I mosey down my journey, I was thinking of that saying that in an issue or a situation, you are part of the solution or part of the problem. That's pretty black and white really. Sometimes you have to avoid the issue or the situation because you aren't in the right spot to be part of the solution and you don't want to be part of the problem. I find this to be particularly difficult for people pleasers. But the older I get, the less of a pleaser I strive to be. There is not a lot of peace in the people pleasing business. Life is a journey. We make mistakes. Then, there are issues or situations. I think we get lost sometimes. I do. It's a crossroads of sorts. I offer you this. Stand in the crossroad sometimes. Stand there and think about the issue/situation. Is it a toxic one that you seem to repeat in life? If so, think about that - your part in it. Why do you repeat it? I offer that it's a comfort level and a people pleasing situation at times. F
