The phrase Argue for your
limitations and they are yours
speaks of a condition that we all are familiar with and exercise too
often.
As a mentor to students, parishioners, clients and friends all of my
life I have run across almost any possible situation that one can
imagine. People come to me with their problems seeking a solution.
Since they are obvious with their problems I can openly suggest they
put a cause in motion to accomplish any goal they desire for
themselves.
Since we are so comfortable with our problems, having had them for a
long time generally, we really do not want to end the problem; we
merely want to tell the problem to someone new. If they had not seen
me before they think I am ripe to hear their circumstances and to
hopefully commiserate with them over the sadness of their dilemma.
With bluster and verve they enter into their tale of woe. I ask them: Tell
me what you WANT to experience. But they go on with their
argument, colorfully they list their limitation, dramatically they
reveal their aches and pains, they are in heaven telling of their
anxiety.
If I am successful in getting them to tell me what they would like to
experience, it is only a few moments before we have an entirely new
story unfolding. They put a positive cause in motion and get a
positive response.
Some of the nicest people are the best debaters for their life crises
and joyfully they experience the theme of their woebegone song again
and again.
Anyone who would like to argue for their beneficial life can
experience that. The Law is no respecter of persons. Whatever cause is
put into motion takes place. I do my best to recommend a positive
cause. Those who follow this course are infinitely happy and enjoy
life to its fullest.
