So this week we were tasked to complete yet another practice which I was hopeful would work. My luck just isn’t good I guess since I seem to fail more that succeed. But then again in life they say you must fail in order to succeed so I can’t complain then. I guess with practice I will be an expert before long as I find these practices very useful. There are many benefits to these types of exercises for sure.
The task this week was to imagine someone we saw as wise and someone that we had a great deal of respect for. I picked my father as I feel as though I am the man I am today because of the way he raised me. Quite the easy pick even though there are several people that I could have chosen. At first when I pictured my father I just had a sense of extreme happiness come over me and I couldn’t help but smile. It was a great feeling and I was surprisingly able to keep this feeling throughout the track. Near the end I started to lose focus but that is because I think the track was a bit long. I feel that way every time so I actually kind of expect that now. This was the best I have done so far though so I was happy with the results.
The saying “One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” is something I have actually heard before. I truly believe that to be true. How can you lead someone when you haven’t done it yourself? One good thing about being a parent is that I can teach my son to follow my lead so if I do things the right way then he is led down the correct path in life. It doesn’t mean he will always follow but if I do the right thing and he chooses to follow then he will be ok. I do think that when leading someone you must have gone that path yourself.
