After I attended the Sterling Men\u2019s Weekend, I joined a weekly men\u2019s group where we met each week around a fire, in the woods, and supported each other in being the \u201cMen We Always Wanted To Be\u201d. Often times, one of us would bring up something about our lives that we didn\u2019t like. Job dissatisfaction, problem with a coworker, money issues, or an issue with their children. <\/p>\n
One of the men, who\u2019d been in the circle for a long time brought up the THREE CHOICES that you face when something in your life is not to your liking. They are, in order of \u201clow to high\u201d on the purpose and power scale:<\/p>\n
1. Bitch about it endlessly and stay<\/p>\n
2. Accept it and either stay OR leave<\/p>\n
3. Do everything in your power to change it.<\/p>\n
He went on to talk about the first choice being unacceptable and how we get \u201cmired\u201d and stuck there. Once you are conscious of the 3 choices, you can quickly move out of option one, especially now that it has been exposed by the light of day as a very \u2026 \u2018yucky\u2019 \u2026 choice.<\/p>\n
Now I think it\u2019s important to mention that #2 is really quite and acceptable option in many cases. It requires strength and resolve, and often times option #3 is unavailable. So this is where the old \u201cserenity prayer\u201d comes in. Getting to what\u2019s within your power to change, and having the courage to change it.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s it. Short but packed with enough information and insight to at least make you sit up and say HMMMM!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
