How to ‘impose’ Self
Development on those around you that you love & care about!
This is quite
a touchy subject.
There are so
many things to be taken into account and so many things to be considered.
What would
you fit into such a big topic as self-development certainly is?
Who are your
loved ones?
Who are your
dear ones?
Who are your
close ones?
It has been
said and stated before the fact that we would almost always do more for others
than we would ever do for ourselves. We would always do more for our children
than we would do for ourselves.
Self-development
is a broad field and includes many topics on subjects that have a very wide spectrum.
It is necessary that at some point in our lives we get on the journey of
self-actualization, self-realization, self-development, self-help,
self-learning, self-teaching, etc.
We have
people in our lives that mean so much to us, we love them, we adore them, we
think about them constantly, we simply cannot imagine our life without them, we
cannot simply imagine them not being included in our daily activities, in our
daily thoughts on a daily basis, seeing them having them in our lives on a day
to day basis means a world to us, means everything.
However,
what if, only hypothetically speaking, you would see one of your family member
being in such a pain, or seeing them just about making a huge mistake that you
seem to have been gone through yourself, that they may be embarking on a
journey that may be not appropriate for their current circumstance, that they
are just about to make an important decision that will not prove right at the
end, that something nasty is just about to happen and you can see yourself
preventing it from occurring, from destroying yourself, others, those you love,
those you care about, those that mean a lot to you, what if the people you
adore are just about to make a leap without considering all things, that the
people who means everything and so much to you are just about to just without
looking, so many things are just about to bound and you can see yourself doing
something about it until something not so nice is going to make itself real.
You yourself
can make it happen.
You yourself
can do it.
You yourself
can prevent it.
You yourself
can protect the people involved.
You yourself
can work it out.
You yourself
can solve it.
You yourself
can concentrate on it.
You yourself
can tell a story about it.
You yourself
can do a thing or 2 with it.
You yourself
can play with it.
You yourself
can entertain it.
You yourself
can work with it.
You yourself
can look at it.
You yourself
can study it.
You yourself
can learn it.
You yourself
can teach it.
You yourself
can look it up.
You yourself
can reach for it.
You yourself
can enjoy it.
You yourself
can read up on it.
You yourself
can search for it.
You yourself
can require it.
You yourself
can enquire it.
You yourself
can ask for it.
You yourself
can go for it.
You yourself
can see it.
You yourself
can watch it.
If we wanted
somehow the others view the situation with the similar eyes as ours, with the
similar glasses on, with the similar attitude as ours is, if we wanted to
really, really truly and honestly help them out, give them a hand, provide them
with a piece of advice, show them the way, show and tell them the right approach
to use, the correct path to take, the route to embark on, the road to travel
on, provide them with the honest feedback, etc. etc.
What in your
opinion would be the best way to go about it?
What would
really help them to see our thinking and way of solving it clearly?
What would
prove them our best interests at heart towards them?
How would
they know that we want to help them and we do not mean to get anything in
return, no gain in advance?
How would
they see that we want to help them and we do not mean to get anything in
return, no gain in advance?
How would
they feel that we want to help them and we do not mean to get anything in
return, no gain in advance?
How would
they sense that we want to help them and we do not mean to get anything in
return, no gain in advance?
How would
they acknowledge that we want to help them and we do not mean to get anything
in return, no gain in advance?
Actions speak louder than words.
I presume you
have heard this one before.
Yet, here
also lies the answer to the posed question we played with earlier.
So many
people have already tried to change other people.
And guess
what? Did they succeed in their pure intention? Well, not really.
We so often
believe we can change others. And guess what. They do not want to be changed. They
are perfect as they are. There is nothing wrong with them.
We criticize
them instead of we should acknowledge the actions they have been taking or not
taking for that matter, lack thereof.
How about we,
us DO something about the situation?
How about we
perceive it differently?
How about we
become the leaders and show them what we have and mean in our hearts of hearts
by taking actions ourselves?
How about we
WALK OUR TALK ???
Can we do
it?
Is it really
that simple?
Them, on the
other hand, seeing us doing what we have been preaching, seeing us walking our
talk, seeing us taking the steps, taking the actions ourselves, then they may
start applying some of the advices we have given them..
In this way,
they have been growing in their own developmental speed, in their very own pace, nothing has been
rushed. everything has been gained in advance, and gotten in return and we have, also, quite intentionally, done our purpose and our gain the
leadership status in the process!! J
Good Luck
walking your talk…..
