Throughout my
life, I have encountered plenty of people who believe that they are more
evolved than they are…..that they deserve more out of life than what they
currently have……that they are humble and able to receive criticism. Problem is…….those you proclaim this
(especially aloud) are RARELY the ones that truly are prepared for what their
hearts and souls desire and seek.
Iron is meant to
SHARPEN iron. This means it takes TWO
pieces of iron to sharpen EACH OTHER.
You can NOT allow yourself to become soooooo full of yourself that you
believe that ONLY you can enhance someone.
That ONLY you are a blessing.
That you KNOW everything and you need no one to ever correct you. You must be corrected as you correct. Well….that is if you are IRON.
I realize that the
vast majority of people ready this will automatically put themselves in the
category of iron. I mean, who wants to
think, let alone admit, that they are less than iron? Many will scream at the top of their lungs
that they have NO desire for change…..that they wish to be loved and accepted
just as they are. But say and KNOW that
they are NOT iron….good luck getting that confession honey. You will sooner get Bush Jr to admit he stole
two elections and that [ultimately] Cheney ran the country for 8 years.
Iron is able to
take criticism and does NOT desire to be surrounded by people that simply agree
or just sit and listen yet NEVER offer feedback. Why? Because those who are iron realize that
you are made better by critics. Iron is evolved
enough to know that when people are silent….they are not listening (and barely
hearing) therefore they say nothing.
When you are cared for/loved by iron, there is an over whelming desire
to make you better because they want you always equally yoked. As they propel you…..they wish to be
propelled. Iron wants feedback….to be
told when wrong…..to be taught…..to grow.
All others merely want to be right…..to live with little to no
admittance of fault or guilt……to be no more than a crab in an ever expanding
bucket.
For those of you
reading this that just may not know if you are iron…..and/or those lying to
yourself……ask yourself the following:
1.
Do you believe that your words (even when
incorrect) should be taken as the gospel by those you choose to speak to?
2.
Do you follow the philosophy that you can and
will see all of your own flaws, therefore NO ONE needs to point them out ever?
3.
Do you DEMAND understanding, yet often get
accused of NOT being understanding?
4.
Do you spend more time assuming or asking why?
Assuming or listening?
If you answered
yes to any of these….or if anyone contacted you telling you to read this…….YOU
ARE NOT IRON. You are merely LYING to
yourself. Answering yes to the abpve
shows that you lack the desire to be sharpened.
You believe that you can sharpen yourself. Now maybe I needed to pay more attention in
science class…..BUUUUUUTTTTTT I do NOT recall ANYTHING that simply was able to
sharpen itself all alone. Do you? What
kind of delusions must a person possess for them to truly think in their mind
and heart and soul that they can see every side of themselves…..that they will
know when and how they have wronged womeone…….. that they are able to add
wisdom to themselves?
When we are
young, we are taught by our parents. We
enter school and are taught by teachers.
When we begin jobs, we are taught by trainers. We trust in these staples….YET when it comes
to the most important aspects of life, we believe that we know more and better
than all others to the point that no instruction is needed? No correction is
needed?
