Know Who You are Ahead of Time.........by David
We are all as fair minded as we are going to be, at least for the time being anyway. We may bend a little from time to time depending on different circumstances. I feel a person needs to realize this ahead of time, so as not to be manipulated by others. Know who you are ahead of time!
Some people will try to make you feel guilty in an effort to get more out of you. They will attempt to get you to bend a lot more than you otherwise would. That is when some important clichés should come into effect such as “Stick to your guns” and “If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything.” Know ahead of time who you are.
There are abused women all over the country who don’t know who they are. They are made to feel guilty and through the guise of her man, he gets what he wants, whether it be sex or worship or both, usually both. These women lack the confidence to know who they are ahead of time.
We all know ahead of time there are certain things we won’t do such as going around taking our clothes off in public, robbing stores or shooting people. These may be extreme examples, but they are examples that most of us can give a clear yes or no answer to as far as whether we would do them or not. Well, I believe we can condition ourselves and change our lives by extending that principle to all aspects of our everyday living.
Will we allow people to manipulate us? Yes or no? If we are so lonely that we put up with that kind of behavior from people, then maybe there is no hope. Did you like seeing the words, no hope? I sure didn’t. I don’t even know you and I wouldn’t wish that on you or anyone!
If you were in Missouri and you were going to drive to California, you shouldn't end up in Maine. You would want to follow a road map which is what I think we all need in our everyday lives, along with the most important words, yes or no.....not maybe!
