It's something I've struggled with and a few months ago I came up with a way to answer it at least for me. I've used an analogy of we are all on our own "path" for years. I use to tell my girls, even before they were preteens, they were on their own path in life and sometimes my job was to help them stay out of the rough on either side. Now that I'm trying to make my path more of a priority, I've dusted off the analogy and am using it address situations. I am going to deal with obstacles on my path. My path, my way. I've even been know to draw pictures to help me understand if it's a my path issue or someone else's. It doesn't fix everything but I seem to have better clarity.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888359861332076596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6330464.post-60708267397691530822008-07-31T04:24:00.000-07:002008-07-31T04:24:00.000-07:00Ahhh, play instead of work!

I need to get a point across in a specific situation in order to clear something up without making the individual put up defensive (and counter-productive) mechanisms. I want my way, but how do I get it?jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.com
