At Round Table meetings you are asked to choose who you are. Who you are, and indeed who you become, are the result of a series of choices you make, and have made throughout your life, influenced by feelings. Think back to the last time you made a decision about anything ... was there a feeling? How do you know the choices you are making are the right choices if some of your feelings are based on adverse childhood experiences? You may not.
Sir Thomas More captures the essence of this education and becoming in his famous quote from his book Utopia [1516] ... “For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated [learned in fearful ways], and their manners [actions] to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.”
One of my favorite quotes. It tells us, we the speaker have choice, and our choices impact others. Fearful adults create fearful children. Fearful children create a fearful future. This is a form of domestication, once you are thoroughly domesticated in this manner you feel like you no longer can choose, your fears serve as your guide like two rows of fence limiting your potential. Stop. You always have choice.
If you are ruled by fearful feelings, only your fear will be seen, you will not. Learn to be heard, learn to be seen, learn to have influence. Master your feelings, Schedule a session.
