Are You Too Good A Listener?

I don't know about you, but once in a while I get mentally and emotionally hit, by what feels like a 2 x 4 ... I get to a point where Oh My God! - I finally have more clarity.

This morning was like that ...What I thought was going to be a short conversation went on for a quite a while... I went from feeling like I was not good enough, to feeling vulnerable, to feeling really grateful, and then having this new perception of how I still am sometimes. All good and too much to put into words... so I'll spare you the details.

Bottom line is... that having been a "good student", a so called polite and nice individual all of my life, falsely believing from a young age that others knew more than I could possibly know about myself... brought me to the place of listening to others too well.

My gift of being a good listener actually backfired in many ways... I frequently gave my own power away rather than risking being vulnerable and being willing to let myself hang out to dry...( I think that is the expression in English

So I was trusting others more than trusting myself, and putting off in some instances - Becoming my own wizard...and living my life from that space.

So questions for you: Are you falling in the same trap - that of listening to others too much and believing they know more than you, about what is good for you? Have you actually let go of being responsible for yourself, by not getting to know your true self?

In my own experience - doing the self growth, being willing to slow down, observe, learn, possibly experience a setback, and decide for myself what is right for me - although it might be uncomfortable and difficult, - it is long term, a lot less of a struggle and you will be doing what is right for you.

So go ahead and learn to Become your own wizard!
