We’re Overprotective Parents to Our Own Inner Child

Yet another killer post from FearlessDreams. You really should keep an eye on this guy’s blog, he writes some killer stuff.

We all know people who seem to be stuck in a situation, for no reason that we can understand. We give them the advice and wonder why they don’t move on. If we’re really honest we see it in ourselves.

The Gatekeeper
Why is it so hard to see the truth about ourselves?

We have so many desires and fears that color everything we think and see.
We’re not completely objective about anything.

But, it’s easier to look at someone else’s situation and see it more clearly, more truly.

Do you ever find yourself going in circles, unable to decide, unable to take action?
You feel the urge to move in some positive direction, and at the same time, you feel compelled to stay where you are, or move in some trivial way that is no movement at all.

Sometimes, we’re aware of being stuck, and it pains us.
Other times, we just dismiss it as no big deal.

Yet, when we look at others who are stuck like this, we can’t understand what’s wrong with them.

Read the rest, now: Are You Acting Like a Spoiled Child?

One of the things that keeps us trapped is negative thinking. We focus on the bad and keep ourselves safe to “protect” ourselves. There are a few thanks that one can do, to change that thinking.

Stop the negative thinking.
