It’s coming up again, an issue that I’ve been dealing with — well first realized I was dealing with — when I was 22. That was … just over 30 years ago. And do you know what has changed in the ensuing DECADES? NOTHING! I know people say that people can change, but based on my observations of myself, my mom, my children, other people … I am not seeing a lot (if any) of actual change.

But myself! I was having this issue and I went to someone for help. I clearly and in-depth explained the ENTIRE problem. They listened and restated the entire problem to me, correctly. I agreed. They then looked me deeply in the eyes and said, “you don’t need help, you just need to stop. doing. this. thing. It is making you crazy and not good for you.”

I laughed, thanked them, walked out, and … continued doing that thing. For 30 more years. And now, today, I’m thinking — I’M GOING TO STOP! And myself is just laughing and laughing … are you? Really?!

Who has a REAL thing, like a bone deep thing about themselves, that they have ACTUALLY changed? Not very many of us, I bet.
