During this exercise it started out really nice, I was able
to finally get into one of our meditation exercises and relax. Actually I was
so relaxed it was nice and calm, but then I lost it when it got to becoming one
with the person you picked as the wise one. For me, the person I had chosen was
someone I was very close with and looked up to but I lost my train of thought because
then I started thinking of all the things I would have possibly done
differently if I could redo it.
The statement about not leading until you has gone yourself
I found to be interesting because this is something you see all the time. For
example, I know someone who is supposed to teach others to be healthy but is
not healthy at all herself. No one is going to take advice from her if she doesn’t
even follow any of her own advice. If you want people to listen to you and
respect what you are saying you first must follow or believe in what you are
saying.
Good post, I would not want to learn from a person who did not do as they preach. I think that learning first is so important before you can teach others. I liked the relaxing exercise and thought it was a good meditation exercise. We could all think of things we could have done differently and things we would like to change in our past but we can not. So, I have decided that I would not want to change anything because it all made me the person I am today and I like who I am.
