Them

Posted on by philipdodson

I talk about ‘them’ or ‘people’ as if it doesn’t include me.

It’s as if I’m above them or superior. I no longer do this or that. I’m enlightened!! I’m floating on my cloud in my zen like state.

Who am I kidding? I still have the same challenges as others. I’m still on a journey and I still throw stones in my glass house.

We are all on our journeys and no need to ever judge another or feel better or worse. We could choose to see ourselves as one and show compassion and love. Rather than see others as them.

When we stop to truly see others without the lenses of our mind then we are respecting the other person and allowing them to be seen.

We all want that.

That thing we feared

Posted on by philipdodson

Those things that we fear, the ones that we fear the most, when we start them and do them it’s amazing afterwards how we realise just how stupid it was to have feared them.

The things that we fear the most are the ones we put off the most. However, they’re the ones we really want to do the most but I’m just too fearful to start. It is the starting that’s the challenge not the doing, the doing is the easy bit and afterwards we realise why on earth did I have a fear of this thing.

So how do we get to start? We get to start by doing the small things, the small steps not the big things, the small steps and if it’s a big thing, we’ve got to do break it down to small things small tiny steps.

Small tiny steps that we won’t fear, that the brain or the mind won’t pick up on and sabotage.

That’s the trick, daily habits, small steps, tiny little things and then the compound effect comes.

Initially, we don’t see much of a change but gradually over time the momentum grows and the change becomes enormous and then we’ve gone from doing a series of tiny small insignificant steps to a giant leap that we could’ve never done before because the giant leap was too fearful.

Small steps is the answer, just 123 go, a small step never a giant leap, we never fear a small step.
