@Sheba, hope you’re staying dry. I spotted two rabbits for you today, and I almost never see them. We have lots of painted ladies flying all around.

Take care, and let me know if you have nabbed the necklace yet😀

Imposing Your Will Upon Others

When we impose our will onto others, we are telling them we want to control and leave them without a true voice.

The right to make your own choices is a precious one. We grow when we have the freedom to decide our own paths and determine what makes us happy. Yet there are those who are inclined to try and control others. They may be driven by insecurity, envy, fear, or the need for power. These people are deeply critical of themselves in their own minds, and underlying that critical nature is unhappiness. Their need to feel sure-footed and secure is quenched by controlling those around them, whether they are friends, colleagues, or even pets. However, nearly everyone has found themselves imposing their will upon others at one time or another.

Trying to impose your will on others can be tempting for many reasons. You may feel that your way is the best way or that you have a keener insight into the direction their life should be taking. But, in imposing your will, you are indirectly saying, “I want to control you.” Thus, even when you have the best of intentions, others may end up resenting you for your actions. It is always helpful to remember that it is possible to influence people and change their behavior through education or example without imposing your will on them.

If you’ve caught yourself being a bit bossy on a regular basis, make a note of it. Write down what the situation was and why you acted the way you did. You may have pushed a friend to try something new, because deep inside you wanted to try it yourself but were feeling hesitant. Or you may be unjustly interfering with work teammates because you aren’t sure of their abilities. Next, make an effort to understand and accept their preferences and ways of doing things. It can feel natural to impose your will when you feel that you “know best.” But there is a freedom to trusting others to find their own methods and joys, even when they might differ from yours. Sometimes the best course of action is to step back and relinquish control. You may, in doing so, see everything from a different point of view.

Cherie,

Yes Ruby is a beautiful cat. ♥ I want her. My Skinn products will not come until Friday
according to the tracking information. Hey you got yours really quick. 🙂

Cherie my neighbor has a vast collection of all kinds of books last week he brought
me over a collection of Jackie Kennedy Books. i love Jackie and these I will treasure.

As a writer he has a great collection he knows what I like to read which is mostly books
on History and the people who make the world go around. 🙂

Have a wonderful day in Cali I know you are getting ready for your trip this week.
Let me know in a few days how you feel about Skinn. ♥

Cherie you are posting Cats lately especially Ruby. Hmmmm…are you thinking what I’m
thinking…LOL! Meow. ♥

@taci,

Good Morning in Cali to you. If you see a bunny along your trails say hi for me. Taci I hope
I get a bunny again this year. ♥ Very Rainy Day. ♥

@kittengirl,

Top of the morning in Cali. Hope you and the Kitties are doing fine. I was wondering
if your grandson is with you and hubby today? if so have fun. Hugs to the Kitties we are
in a hard rain. ♥

@bichon18,

Good Morning to you and Jerry. Hugs to little Ari from Poppy. 🙂 I agree with your post
yesterday on the Cheating Scandal. Amy I know the actors involved and enjoy their work.
I cannot believe they would do that for kids who are not even interested in going to College.

JMO but they should put what they paid for them to get an education into a Trust Fund and
not let them have it until they are 30 years of age. I know this is nothing new there are so
many young people who want an education and don’t have the means to go to College.
One girl said she came to College to party. Go figure. SMH! I am paying for my kids going
to College I wish my kids had a free ride no such thing.

Anyway life goes on. Amy it is raining really hard here got Poppy out for a short walk just
in time. I heard a thunder clap so hard it shook the house. Yikes!

Happy Packing. 🙂
