Read an article called “Interior Motives” in the August
Issue of O Magazine that made me think about my professional environment and
how I engage in it. Made me think of all
the actual times I have said Yes when I was dying to say No, the many times I
have been polite when I really didn’t want to be and the countless hours I have
wasted in conversations I really did not want to be in.
I realised reading through those pages that I actually
needed to clean up my agenda, take a constructive step back and re-evaluate the
battles I fight and those I walk away from. Easier said than done (I know) but
I am starting small and hopefully it will lead me out of the Lady Macbeth maze
in my head.
So if you hear me say No more often than before bare with me
because this is my truth and I would rather be blunt than be exhausted by hypocrisy. If I don’t engage in a conversation with you
don’t take it personally because I may just have nothing enlightening to say.
As I journey on this new road of telling the truth I will unconsciously
be steered away from fake people and my circle may become smaller but that is a
price I will willingly pay for inner peace.
