If you find out you're wrong don't perpetuate a mistake. Sometimes we
change our attitudes and the way we do things without even being aware of it. Think
of the route to your goal as a road to experience that has further stops on the
way. You cannot detour from this road or take a short cut but must progress
onward through these stops to get to your destination. Sometimes you may well
be able to go around an obstacle. If you examine the things you do then there
is probably not much that you don't really want to do. Some things may not be
as exciting as others, but you do still want to do them. There are most likely
some things that you would never do, but I bet you do everything else because
you want to. Try not to view critical comment as criticism. It's not. It's the
opportunity for self-improvement. The challenge is there. If a comment is made
that you donŐt agree with or is not true or is unfair then ignore it. It does
require honesty to self. I believe that is one of the most important things in
life. Being true to oneself. If you can't do that you cannot be honest with
others.
If I give a promise then I will do whatever it is that was promised. Nothing
will divert me from that promise. If I feel that I cannot provide an assurance
then I won't give it. This is a very simple personal code. If something is
important it will wait for your attention. Some things will go away. Were they
really important? Experiment. Try out various things. Practise and itÔll get
better. It's how we all develop. Do be careful that you practise good form
because if you practise a mistake, all you will get is an expertise at making
that error. You can be conscious of being watched and it's in the mind, but is
still a distraction. If you are aware of your surroundings then you cannot give
it your all as only part of you is concentrating on the immediate. Try out new
ideas. Consolidate things that work. Drop things that are not possible, but are
you sure? Many things you may feel unable to do, but that shouldn't be reason
enough to stop trying. Nothing should deter you from getting to where you want
to go. This is what you need. However, if something is not physically possible,
then don't waste time trying to do it.
Concentrate more on what you do well, not on what you don't do well.
