Transformational People
Transformational People
=====================
During the course of my life I have had the opportunity to interact with people who seemed to make it their life purpose to stand in my way. No matter what I tried to do I could not convince them of my value, worth and skills. Whether I worked harder at my job, tried harder in relationships, compromised more or just gave in, they were there, blocking me. I know now that I had two choices with these people, to keep pushing (which is what I did) or to allow a transformation in me to occur. Because transformation was their gift to me.
Whether at work or in our personal lives we have all had contact with people who would not value, honor or respect us. It didn't matter what we did, they could or would not 'get' us. Many of us, as I did, think that they present us with a challenge to work harder to prove ourselves but they are really there to help us make other choices. Perhaps it's to find another job, career path, relationship or place to live. Maybe they are there to remind us that we have skills and gifts that we have yet to acknowledge. But one thing they are not there for is to change their opinion.
Transformational people teach us lessons about change that needs to occur in our life by forcing it upon us, sometimes gently, sometimes with a great deal of pressure. The more resistant we are to change, the more we fear it and the more we are blessed with powerful people who refuse to allow us to continue on our chosen path. It can be frustrating as long as we ask the question 'what is wrong with them or with me.' The real question in these situations is 'what do I need to do differently.'
When we allow ourselves to live through transformation we welcome change knowing that it is by being open to unlimited opportunities that they come to us. Life is supposed to flow effortlessly so if something is standing in our way it is probably not there to challenge our value or worth. Instead, it is asking us to accept transformation. If we let go and allow the change to occur, without fear, the transformational people have done their job and can move on. And so can we.
