Is It All About You?

Have you ever noticed that when you internalize you become very self-centered? How can you help it? You're the only one you're listening to! I know how that feels. It's the result of only looking at where you're at. That simple habit and an unwillingness to break it, can be devastating to a life.

Over the last few days I've been so encouraged by the people who have signed on to my Facebook Fan Page and posted their thoughts. They're telling me about what they're looking at and how far they can see. It reminds me that the human spirit is amazingly resilient. We can track and survive like a stealth animal. But we have a weakness we need to be aware of. If we have enough rope on a bad day, a bad month, a bad year filled with some discouragement, some hopelessness, we can lose our way. How much time have we lost? We have to look up, and look out. Because when you get down to it, it's really our only choice. Why? Because my question to a person that's stuck in a circular mindset is always gonna be, "Why get upset behind something you can't change." Look up. Look out. And change your perspective. That's the first step.
