Years ago I use to teach, conferences, workshop and seminars to name a few. People use to come to me and complimented me on my words and wisdom and although on the outside I was cheerful and pleased on the inside I felt like a fraud. Why was I feeling like this what was it that disturb me so much. And one day the answer was given to me from a very unnerving and unwanted source, my wife. Yes she new and she said “why are you not practicing what you are teaching. That hit me so hard, it took a while for it to sink in. I had nothing at all to say I knew instantly that it was the truth she spoke. So after sorting this out for myself I started to listen to what I was teaching. First realizing that it wasn't me, that I was inspired from a highest self to write and teach these gems and I come to the realization that those teaching where for me first.
So from that time on I worked at applying new inspirations to my own life before passing them on I then discovered another things, I knew what I was talking about and now when someone congratulate me on my words a grateful "thank you" very simply, and inside acknowledging the source of the inspiration and giving the source credit.
Trust me since then I rely on my wife's wisdom for many things I don't think I do anything without checking with her first, and strangely enough she checks with before doing anything now. We have a perfect life.
Something new I need to work on since today's note “Character vs. personality. This is on my list starting practicing today.
