I’m terrible and very stubborn when it comes to admitting I’m wrong.Even before the accident, I was very much so. It’s so embarrassing, so why admit I’m wrong when I can just ignore the situation and sweep it under the rug? That way I no longer need to be embarrassed further. I have zero tolerance now, so that sounds like a great solution, right? Oh so wrong I am. Since I’m on the Traumatic Brain Injury Medicaid Waiver, I get Community Integration Counseling 2 hours a week. I met with my counselor last week. During our session, she said something to me that just made sense to me a day ago. Even though it seemed to make sense initially when she first said it, it really didn’t click with me. I notice I do it more frequently than I’d like to admit. Our conversation went something like this: She said my blogs are great for people to relate to, that some people rid themselves of situations all together. Meaning for example, a person doesn’t want to deal with negative situations from negative people (neither do I), but that individual decides not to talk to anyone at all (including the good people). I said, it’s like taking an antibiotic and eliminating yourself of GOOD and bad bacteria, the good bacteria never stands a chance. As she described it she said it meaning other people do that, but I realize I am an active participant. I could tell you of three different occurrences that happened within last meeting with her a week ago. My stubborn, full of pride self, and stuck in my old ways inhibited me from accepting the great people in my life, not anymore though. Thanks Lynda💗
