The next time you find yourself saying you have an “issue” with [insert person/place/thing], check yourself… Is your issue really with someone/some place/some thing else, or might it be better described as a lack of resolution on your part to process an obstacle?
Perhaps it’d be advantageous to forfeit labeling that suggests a deterministic possession, and instead replace it with opportunistic language that prompts engagement for growth.
Put another way, do you really have an issue? Or are you just unwilling (or hesitating) to take action toward navigating a conflict?
Food for thought from one of my favorite texts, Finite and Infinite Games, by James P. Carse:
“What will undo any boundary is the awareness that it is our vision, and not what we are viewing, that is limited.”
Some homework for you this week: commit to upgrading your personal software (perspective) before blaming external things (hardware). What happens?
