Life is like a bunch of bee stings.
How many times have you had the best of intentions...a positive attitude, positive expectations, a desire to empower yourself or demonstrate a positive potential, only to be met with disappointment or failure? Doesn't it sting? Don't those feelings of rejection, invalidation, and powerlessness feel as if a gigantic bee came down and stung you, and you can't get the stinger out?
From childhood, many of us have been bombarded by circumstances in which we believed we had to accept failure and an attitude of powerlessness. As we grew up, we experienced situations that resulted in us feeling punished, dejected, or defeated in some way...and the stingers started accumulating within us.
Some of us get really good at compensating,
but the stinger is still in there.
Every time you feel dejected, or experience disappointment, failure, doubt, shame, guilt, or any other negative feeling, and you can't get rid of it, it's not unlike the stinger from a bee that stays in you. It's irritating. And, without a way to remove the stinger, the only thing you can do is to figure out how to compensate. So what do you do? Try to avoid thinking about it? Make up your mind that you're not going to let it bother you? Or do you convince yourself that there's nothing you can do about it, and silently suffer, trying to convince yourself and others that there's nothing wrong?
How is your attitude affected by failure, doubt,
limitations, and the inability to empower yourself at will?
We all have different experiences in life, making our responses to situations as diverse as individuals in the world...from feeling dejected from disappointment, failure, doubt, shame or guilt, to experiencing positive support, no limitations, a "can do" attitude, and empowerment.
There are people who seem to go relatively unscathed in life...nothing seems to bother them, they seem to have no limitations, and everything they do seems to turn out just fine. They uncannily are able to avoid many bee stings, or somehow manage to pull out the stingers as life unfolds for them. On the other hand, some of us have more stingers in us than others, and most of us have more stingers than we'd like...having no ability or awareness of how to remove them.
Just because we attempt to put the stingers out of our awareness,
it doesn't mean they're not there.
It doesn't mean they're not irritating us, affecting our moods, and distracting us from being able to improve the way we react to life's challenges and expand our levels of empowerment. These stingers dampen our ability to focus on positive feelings or positive expectations that would enable us to develop more of our inner potential...and empower ourselves...building on success that we forgot we had because our focus and attention is diverted by these stingers.
