People have their own agendas
they have a voice, a story, in their head
And it’s often different than ours
That’s not a problem – it’s reality
The problem comes when we let people’s agendas become our agenda
Because we have a voice in our head, a story, a plan
Whether we realize it or not, if we’re acting emotionally or logically
Sometimes these things end up on a big scale (moving to a different state)
Some on a small scale (come over for dinner)
And a million others
And a way to help us move the needle forward is knowing our story – what we want, and where we are going vs floating on life – reacting to these external ‘arrows” being shot at us – for better or worse.
