Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Father Brian D’Arcy, a Catholic Passionist priest:

β€œYou’re as sick as your secrets” is a tried and trusted principle in addiction recovery. When you say it out loud it’s easier to get what it means. Fear of divulging β€œsecrets” can become an unhealthy obsession. Leading a double life leaves us vulnerable and open to manipulation. And it’s all so unnecessary.

Secrecy is enemy of good relationships. I’ve seen it in communities, marriages and in business. I’m convinced that the root of it all is how we see ourselves.

When we learn to accept ourselves - with all our gifts and faults - we don’t need to be deceptive.Β  We recognise there’s nothing to be gained from self-imposed anxiety. The God I believe in never gives up on me. My value comes from within. That’s Faith in a nutshell.Β Β 

Self-image comes from the people around us and the experiences of life.Β  However, I believe, it’s the meaning I give to those experiences which colours my view of myself.

The experts assure us that we are the product of the people we live and work with because we allow them to shape us, whether they want to or not. I have a friend who insists that if you passionately believe in your dream, you will eventually create it; one person with real belief is better than a hundred with merely an interest.Β 

My friend is a successful football coach and his teams have medals to prove his theory.Β 

It’s only now I’m beginning to understand his methods. I believe we actually create the problems which limit us. A person with relationship problems, for example, will always have relationship problems until they recognise, and then let go of, the attitudes smothering their progress.

Experience tells me that the key to life is where I focus. Focus on what I haven’t got and I’ll get more of the same. Dig deep to find what’s sabotaging my progress and I’ll discover the power within, which enables me to fulfil my potential.

In short, what some of us like to call fate is nothing of the kind – it’s my own mind-set.

In life you either make excuses or you make things happen.
