On Being Late


                                                           
Don’t we all know at least some people who are always late? No matter how close the destination may be, they just don’t make it. In fact I knew a man who moved to within a half mile of his job, only to end up being late yet again. By now I think we have guessed that lateness has little to do with timing and location and more to do with attitude. Some of us truly do not want to go where we need to go and find a million resistances. Either that, or we just don’t want to fill the expectations of others.

What's to be done?.....

What’s to be done? Perhaps our late comers need to take an inner look at what’s really going on. Are there some situations they don’t want to do but really can’t say no to? Is there a “my-way-or-the-highway” in some of us? Either way, there is a state of mind to be checked. Do we want to have jobs? Do we want to have friends?

Will we make clear choices?....

Can the mind be malleable enough that we can see where changes need to be made? Will we make clear choices about what is really important to us and agree to follow those choices?

Hmmmm......interesting!

Hmmmm…..interesting! And unless we “laties” agree to be hogtied and delivered on time by others, the decisions will rest with us!
