Before this class, and before I found out about "The Four Agreements" I blamed the world for every problem I had. Nothing was ever my fault, for example all the lights are red, making me late for work, because the world hates me. There is some kind of crazy unknown force out there changing all these lights just to anger ME. Another example, I wanted to make the high school baseball team so bad. I got cut my 9th, 10th, and 11th grade year in high school. After being cut my 10th grade year I shut down. I blamed my previous coaches for not teaching me correctly, I blamed the high school coach for only choosing kids he knew. by now your probably saying get to the point right? I was in fear that my boss would judge me, based on MY actions. I was in fear I wasn't good enough to play baseball, also I was afraid I would let down my parents, grandparents, and myself.
Day by day I am learning how to own up to my actions, and how to analyze the situation. Another example, I used this one in class saying I thought my room mate stole my knifes. I felt so bad blaming him and then realizing it was my own ignorance that got in the way. To prevent this I need to work on my organization. I need to refile all my files, take a different approach to situations, and not to make assumptions.
With everything I have typed ask yourself, what makes you angry or sad? Is it because your scared of someone or something? Or is it simply because you judge everyone based on your history and surroundings? I'm still nineteen and I have so much to learn still, but being impeccable with my work and not judging is a great start.
I'm not 100% sure if this was what this post was suppose to be about. I read the notes from class, turned up some music and sat outside and just type. I may have done a little white boy dancing as well, but this was actually an assignment I enjoyed. I hated high school and never did my homework and I was always ashamed of my grades but I never did anything about it.Its time to change that, take responsibility and not blames others or judge others based off of my experiences.
