“Whenever I give in to my natural impulse and habit to take over and try to force a change, I’m in trouble again.” (ODAT, 30 January)
I’m a noticer and am often the first in a situation to notice that there is a problem.
Just for spiritual practice, I practise holding back. Saying nothing. Seeing if it will resolve itself. Seeing if someone else will address it.
If I stop and bark at every other dog, I’ll never get to the park.
