A quick point from G-Pop.
If it is your idea to share your heart, it’s called vulnerable. If somebody else demands you share your heart, it’s called weak.
Human beings need the ability to make their own choice. When you remove this, you tinker with the soul. No human being has the right to tinker with the soul of another.
Yet rather than screaming about choice, it would be a good idea to learn how choice is acquired.
It’s really quite simple:
If you need to be wanted, you always come across as weak. On the other hand, if you need to be respected, you will generally be considered mean.
So at all costs, we must refrain from the need to be wanted–that fussy part of us that tries to pretend we don’t care what people think while simultaneously being addicted to the drug of public opinion. Because the danger is to rebound and try to become tough, demanding that people respect us–and when they don’t, plotting a foolish revenge.
This situation is not different in China as compared to Argentina. The people in the British Isles don’t have different criterion than those in Nigeria. All of us function in the same scenario. In other words, we rise and thrive by avoiding the feelings of needing to be wanted or needing to be respected.
Being wanted and respected is impossible until it is determined that you are valuable. So crawl into your own soul and make pearls–accumulating worth.
Make yourself interesting. Make yourself predictable in a good way. In other words, when the chips are down, you can be counted on.
There you are. If you are going to complain about the system, you’ll never be able to work with it. So how do we become valuable?
1. Stop seeking praise and seek opportunity.
2. Be willing to do important things on your own when others have given up.
3. Don’t criticize people for failing to have the same determination that you do.
4. Do the good deed and don’t hang around for the party.
5. Make sure that when you fail, you make it clear to those around you that you’re going to correct it or improve it.
6. Acknowledge the value in others.
G-Pop wants his children to know that they should not need to be wanted or need to be respected.
The power lies in becoming valuable to those around you–and then they will want you and respect you.
