Many of us have a mind-set that keeps us on a treadmill. It’s not for lack of effort that our lives reel out of control. We struggle to move forward. We work hard to manage the unmanageable. But with all our busy efforts, we can’t see that we are continuously recycling the same problem over and over.
The
solution we need may be right before our eyes. Our denial is confusing
us; we don’t even know we are denying anything. We cannot solve our
problems alone—or even see the problems clearly from the inside. That’s
what friends do for us. They reflect back to us what we are missing.
That’s why we need to have good talks with others who have walked the
same path that we are on. The strongest, most powerful men have wise
advisers who show them things they don’t know. They accept the role of
seeker and learner because that is the way they enhance themselves.
Today, I will be open to seeing my problems in ways I couldn’t imagine on my own.
