What's Right With You?

For me, finding out what’s was wrong with someone was easy. Finding out what was right with them was a much harder row to hoe.

Assessing the problem comes like breathing to me. In the past, offering a solution sometimes had me wasting my breath.

It’s not that my remedy wouldn't work. It was extremely prescriptive. The snafu I ran into was the person was not in the frame of mind to receive my sage advice, mainly because, in some way, I communicated they were inferior for having the problem. 

I remember having difficulty warming up to the NLP concept of “the meaning of the communication is the response that you get.” I was caught up in the mindset of “the meaning is the meaning,” meaning I was hemmed in by the facts.

Some people were not responding to my facts and I wasn’t noticing.

I’m sure there are others like I used to be. Perhaps you can form a group called “Flaw Finders” and sit around and tell each other what’s wrong with the world, but the world will keep spinning away from your assessments.

Here’s a life lesson worth learning: “Tough Love” is a tool in the toolbox; not a way of life.

Quickly reading a situation is a powerful skill to own, but it'll own you if you don’t make allowances for the foibles of humanity. We all have them but some of us have difficulty owning our own.

When you come from a position of “on high,” you’ll have a low rate of getting through, because what you're communicating is: I'm better than you. That never works!

All the best,

John
