Rather than receiving the question for what it was, I assigned meaning to it because of my own insecurities and hang-ups with personal expectations. I treated the inquiry like an attack and spun the story I was telling myself into an inquisition of the individual asking the question in polite conversation. <br /><br />It wasn't until I had a moment to reflect that I realized I had acted out in attempt to escape a situation where I felt my ego was being put at risk. Funny thing, this ego is. <br /><br />So I get what you're saying and appreciate the direction you took with this post. As usual, good stuff. I look forward to the next.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00956464236657079976noreply@blogger.com
