The concept of love, and trying to live a life that constantly seeks love as the answer to conflicts, has proven difficult for me, especially with the job I have. I work 80-90+ hours a week, so the people I interact with most are coworkers. I find its less difficult to love my neighbors, or total strangers, but when Im at work, its like the old me comes back out. Why? Perhaps its because I work in a labor intensive industry with men that are always poking fun, critisizing, and cutting people down. I have a long history of poking fun at people. Not to cause harm or to damage, but to pass the time. Its all in good fun...to me. Im beginning get to realize that maybe others dont think its all that fun. Its easy to complain, and point out other peoples faults in my industry. Its hard to bite your tongue, and see the good or someones strong attributes. Especially when there is a majority that point out the faults of others as well. How do I overcome this, and send an unmistakable change in character? When people talk about me behind my back (and I have no doubts they do) what do they say? Do they say, Wolfe is a man of integrity, he sees the good in people and Ive never heard him speak badly of anyone? Surely not. Some closest to me may see traits of integrity, but others see just another guy just like everyone else. They may even see ego, arrogance, amd anger. This is not the person I wish to be. Those who know me outside work, know a completely different me. And those of you who only know me from FB, clearly only see the best I have to offer because I try very hard to send the right message thats backed in the principles I try to live by. So how do I bring these principles I speak about (love) into my daily lives with those I engage every single day? This takes much effort. Im a long way from the person I wish to be.
