When We Keep Trying
It's A Mind Set
There are many problems that pop up
Like a virus on the computer that won't leave us alone
Even though we thought we were protected by the latest and best virus protection software
Now what do we do?
Try to fix the problem
If the problem is too big send it off to someone who can
Let an expert handle it
Back in my neck of the woods
I will try to make things better on my level
I call it leveling up
Putting all my own resources to the test
Thinking of all the knowledge I know
What I can do to make a difference
At first it seems impossible
As we chip away at the problem
One piece breaks off
Then another
We see lots of resistance
It is such hard work
Hours of hard labor
Both mental and physical
Our bodies feel the stress
So we have to find new ways
By diverting the feeling of powerless to powerful
We give ourselves permission
To continue at great lengths
Fighting hard at what we do not understand and accept
We gain control and work on leverage
Examining the awkwardness
The temptation to throw the towel in
We must remain resilient
There is a wonderful beauty in the moment
A timeless feeling of empowerment
Where we have to override what we see
To go deeper in what we believe
It is like a dog that is constantly nipping at our feet
Recommended
We have the strength to pull our leg away
The dog is not gone
The dog is feisty and strong
It shows no sign of giving up
It means business
So we have to act and act fast
How do we change the situation into our favor
We tried yelling that didn't work
That made us lose control
We tried struggling that made us feel weak
We need time to think
We don't have the time
Quickly thinking of ideas that are generated quickly by our brain
What can we do ?
The first new thought is what if we spray a spray that dogs don't like
We reach over and we have a lemon scented spray
After two sprays the dog is caught off guard
It backs off
Still barking but retreating
Not harming the dog
Irritating enough to do the job
When we thought this was not possible
We spray again and see the dog hesitate and back away even further
The dog has met his match
Now we are free to roam about without the dog at our heels
Now how do we apply this same technique to another real life situation
We once again dig deep into bag of tricks
This might take some more time and thinking
I will sleep on it
My mind will work around the clock
Trying to solve the problems we have
No solution yet
Give is some time
I will let you know of any progress
For now I keep an open mind
