If the Shoe fits, then Wear it

Own your s*it, be as accountable as you are judgmental of others. It’s so easy for us to criticize people and to let them know what they need to do or not to do. Whether we’re giving constructive criticism or straight up jabs. Some of us are much more observant of the next person than of themselves. How many times have you analyzed somebody’s relationship? Or the way that they live? How often do you turn your nose up to people that don’t share the same views as you? Are you quick to let another know how wrong they are? Are you busy blaming others for your mistakes? Can you even recognize that you’ve made mistakes? That’s fine, it’s okay for you to judge, only because everything in your life is perfect, without flaws, no need for any improvements, right? You can be proud of your accomplishments and stand strong on your rewards. As long as you equally stand on your downfalls. There is nothing worse than a person who thinks that they are always right. That they have nothing to learn or to change. Aside from being absolutely infuriating there’s just no way of communicating with them. Being able to clearly see when others are wrong but completely blind when it comes to you, is not a gift but a curse. When you can’t or won’t open yours eyes to take a look within yourself and the things that you can make better or change. If you’re not at least willing to try. If you’re comfortable with others consistently picking up your slack for the things that you won’t put your name on. Then you’re just stuck and will probably be stuck for the rest of your life.

I myself, am pretty sensitive and initially might take offense when a critique is given. But once the sting passes I quietly examine what was said and identify if there is any ounce of truth to it. Brush it off my shoulder and either move on or make headway. It is really stimulating to accept and upgrade you and who you are as a person. Having a grasp of where you lack and making a conscious choice to fulfill it is very powerful. And even with that we may continue to fall back a thousand times before we rectify them. But we are standing in our truth and that is a forward movement. That truth cleans up so much unnecessary mess for you and anyone around you. The best and healthiest arguments are when both parties can admit when they are wrong. It allows for the disagreements to be discussed not battled. One of the easiest but the hardest thing for people to do is to admit that they are wrong. Some will go to their death beds before confessing. However some of the most successful people are the ones that do. Because they are constantly growing from what they have acknowledged and corrected of themselves. But here’s a secret, you can only grow if you desire to grow. If you have no desire to be a stand up person that holds themself accountable for what they do. To give yourself the opportunity to better yourself by bettering yourself. To fill some shoes that are bigger than the ones that you are wearing. Your shoes but in a bigger size. By listening and looking at you as deep as you do in others. If you have none of these aspirations then your shoes will always fit tight. When you dig deep into yourself you will soon realize that what others do is their business. You won’t throw your weight on others to carry. You are not succeeding as a human being in this world if you don’t take ownership of your s*it, the good and the bad. Step into some custom made shoes.
