What Do You Argue for?

November 11, 2007 by Liz

I've been thinking . . .

about what we argue for.

While I was gone, I spoke with many folks about their plans for the future. Many folks have a clear vision of where they are going. Some think about getting the world to come to them. Others are still outright searching.

The searchers often are stopped by what they see as obstacles.

“I don’t have the support. I don’t have the money. I’m awful at doing this one part.” Then they argue in detail why it’s so hard to come by what they need.

I hear myself do the same thing sometimes. “I need more time and more resouces,” I say. I wonder if that’s really what I need.

I wonder how I’ll ever do something when I spend time convincing folks why I’ll never have what I need to get that sometbing done?

smokescreen

Supposing that I was determined to make a plan happen, would I still be convincing folks I didn’t have what I need?

Would I still be arguing for my limits?

When we argue for our limits is that just a smokescreen?
