Today’s Motivation “JUST THE FACTS MA’AM.”

“JUST THE FACTS MA’AM.”

Ever feel stuck about something? You can’t see another way for
something to be or a different way to interpret an occurrence? So,
something happened and there are the facts about what happened.

For instance, Johnny was riding his bike and fell off. That’s what
happened. You could make up any kind of story about that instance.
Johnny is not very good riding his bicycle. Johnny wasn’t watching
where he was going. Johnny is a klutz. What you make up about a
situation, what you say and think about what happened is funda-

mental to being human. We always want to be right, we always
want to give a reason.

Consider that you have vast power over what interpretation you
bring to a situation. Something happened or something did not
happen and you made up a story about it. What if you didn’t do
that? What if you became like Sgt. Jack Friday from Dragnet and
just looked at “the facts, ma’am, just the facts.” You could avoid
upsets, not pass judgments, never be wrong and it would give you
a great deal of power over your life.
