Hello my friends,
In the name of HELPING, something recently occurred which has, I hope taught me a lesson about myself. A friend sought my help, and of course i wanted to do whatever i could. I felt i understood the situation. I felt I could explain the situation. I knew ...yes i definitley KNEW that this was beyond my ability, beyond my strength and beyond my knowledge and experiece. I had read about this on community. I did not try to pass myself off as an expert...but I did decide to proceed and try to help.
You see folks, recent validations have led me to feel strong in my ability....why would i not be able to handle this.
Ego definitely interferred with intuition/instinct. My instincts were screaming at me to back off...and yet i proceeded.
Nothing happened, no one got hurt, i did not give false information/advice...I stopped before it was too late...or rather, I was stopped. You see, my friend realized that i could not help and asked me to stop. I was hurt. I was embarrased and I felt completely stupid....and in the faint morning light....i see the lesson....and i will not let EGO interfer again.
