Have you ever met someone that tells you the truth, the whole truth, and the complete and utter truth, regardless of what it is? Someone that is so honest that sometimes it almost seems like they are being arrogant, but in reality, you can't argue with what they are saying, because they are right. You may try to argue, or just sit in opposition to what they are saying simply because of the tone they use to deliver the truth.
Well, here is the thing, if they are right, they are right. If someone cares about you, and you know they care to some degree, if they are being honest, and you know they are being honest, listen! LISTEN! It may not be the way in which you want to hear something, but honestly, they are doing you a favor. Someone that can be that up front and honest is not common. Most people will blow smoke up your ass just because it is easier than truly being honest. It takes a strong person to really be that up front with people.
Listen, ask questions, listen for the answers, take the advice being given. Process it, integrate what they are saying into your brain. If someone is saying something to you that you logically know is true, then accept it.
I have dealt with control issues in my life. I still do, I work on myself every day. I don't try to control everyone in my life, but I do sometimes try and control the situations in my life that I need to let go of. This is something I need to work on, among other things, like believing more in myself...giving myself more credit than what I have in the past. I know I am smart, funny, giving, caring, etc...I know these things. I need to use them more. I need to tap into my inner resources to get to where I want to be. I know I can, I know I can get to where I want to be.
Anyway, this has turned into a rambling blog....suffice it to say, when people talk, and you respect their opinions, LISTEN!!!!!
