WORK I MUST
Wow. This is all getting a little weird. My post yesterday about my recent re-realization of what a great time I have when I watch others be successful. A personal recognition of an increaseing amount of "head trash" I have been carrying around pertaining to lack of faith in others. An article in Guideposts that Lisa pointed out to me because it was written by a business consultant. The bottom line was the importance of helping others get what they want. Finally picking up and reading a book, "Leadership and Self-Deception," recommended to me by a friend a few weeks ago. The book is about getting outside the box of my "self" and being more relational, looking for others' perspectives and paradigms.

This is all stuff I try to teach to others but yet I see that recently I have gone through a period of expecting it from others but not modeling it for them.

This isn't good. Fortunately, today is a new day of a new work week. And work I must ... on these things.

Our church did an entire series of sermons based off that book. It really is a clear way to see the head games we play with others. I really got a lot out of it.
