What You Think, is Not What You Think- always, but sometimes…
This am I was having my daily am call with my mom, whom I visited this weekend and I uncovered a real human phenomena in an ephemeral moment. Ever have this person in your life of the other gender who you see in a potentiality sort of way, and they don’t see themselves in the same way?
I think we all do that, don’t we? We project, but also see other’s potential so much more than perhaps even they do. It is so strange to me that we cannot see ourselves entirely due to our internal chatter which can tell us, we aren’t as good as we think, or we cannot do something, or we operate from some familial manner in which was instilled by a family trend, or we absorb the limitations of our surroundings. Inherent in this awakening that I believe some people have these awesome qualities, this potential, per say, but they get stuck in this old way of being, thinking and settling which prevents them from stepping into the position of moving forward, reaching out, and embracing that which is possible, who they are, well, as I see them, and if only they could see themselves that way. It is frustrating to have these thought processes because while they are inspiring, intellectual and clarifying for me, the people that could be in question still remain where they are at the moment, in their inertia, their zone of adequate activity.
Although this isn’t a huge revelation, because we all do it, it was instrumental in me to understand a particular moment of thought. However now that is is revealed, now is it time to move on and let it be the way it is? Is it important to allow others to grow at their own rate or is it prudent to assist them in some way to see something different for themselves? A good question, indeed.
