Self – Disclosure

“If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.”

Has it become human nature to think we know another individual so well that we can size them up to something they are not?  Or, believe that we are superior to them because of status, hierarchy, position in life, or just out of plain ignorance?

I’ve come across some extremely critical people this week.  Some of them didn’t know the other individual from a hole in the wall yet felt compelled to regurgitate a dissertation on their life.  For those who did know each other; one individual suddenly became a new age Harry Potter and thought they could read the others thoughts, actions and intentions even when they were not in plain sight of them (isn’t that some ISH).

In fitness, we have a mind set of knowing that everyone is not in the same book, let alone the same page.  We work hard for results at our own pace.  No one is a guru.  We are all constantly learning and picking up new and sometimes better concepts along the way.  Once we have mastered those concepts it is then that we can teach orconstructively criticize another….even still, we are all constantly learning.

“I know what I do well and what I don’t do well.  I know the mistakes I’ve made in the past and the successes I’ve had.  I don’t need to paint a false picture to others.  I can tell my story just as it is!”
