Minding My Own Business

For whatever reason, I've felt that if I told people what they're doing wrong and point out how they should change, they would appreciate my wise words, thank me, and make the suggested adjustment.

I hope you're laughing right now at how preposterous and arrogant my thinking was.

My metamorphosis came in stages. First, I had to learn not to tell people what to do or how to behave. Then I had to accept the fact that my way isn't the only way. Recently my thought patterns have shifted so that I no longer even believe I know what's best for others.

In other words, I had to behave my way into believing. The result is the delicious freedom that comes from minding my own business.

You write it:  What pattern would you like to change? Where will you begin?
