It all seems so simple, so clear. I have a tendency to focus on others and place blame on them. I need to get rid of the victim mentality I let control me and focus on better things, like solutions for example. Seeing the bigger picture is key to breaking out of this pattern of thinking I have had for a while. The great thing is, I see it! It is very easy to point to others and accuse, even condemn them for “what they have done to me”. This is a big board I’m on in this game of life and I look forward to playing differently.
My REACTION
Chuck,
I think this chapter resonated deeply with many of us who are teachers. It is so easy to blame others for what we perceive as failures. But they are not failures! I love the phrase of considering these mess ups as the chance to stop and say "how fascinating."
It will be fascinating to see how you change that focus next year and I look forward to hearing from you! No more boredom!
