"One cannot lead another where one has not gone himself"
In the health and wellness field, this means I need to know my stuff or know where to get the information.
If I can not relate to the journey of my clients,
I need to plug myself into someone or some experience.
I know what it is like to get the
Diabetic diagnosis, elevated blood pressure, and even high cholesterol.
I can relate to the fear and confusion. I have been on medications.
I have traveled a path to wellness.
I live with people that do not have to think about what they eat.
Does this mean I have all the answers...???
NO !!!
I have never had to bury a child or my spouse but I can relate to a loss....
I have never had a heart attack...but I know fear...
I am not perfect, I am human...
Day to day I do the best I can with where I am at...
I am willing to walk the path with my clients...
I could not see the text without highlighting it. However, I found your response to be very thought provoking. I do not think it about knowing answers, but rather knowing yourself and going from there. We have a lot more in us than most realize including ourselves. True peace and everything else starts on the inside, but it is not like what most might think. People rely to much on external things and everything we experience starts on the inside, because our experience is not reality, but rather what we perceive and believe it is. We mentally create our reality and our perceptions of it. The part that most do not realize is more than often we are automatically responding to most things. I am not saying we are not ourselves, but rather people spend so much time paying attention to what is on the outside that they forget who they really are sometimes, because they get caught up with the external things.
ReplyDeleteSorry Ricky, I am not sure what happened to my text...I think I have it fixed now. Thanks for the heads up.
ReplyDeleteI agree that many times we program ourselves to "fit in". Thanks for commenting
