Drive Gently Over the Stones
Are you making your hard times harder?
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2

I've been studying proverbs from around the world in order to produce an inspirational PowerPoint. There are some beautiful slide shows out there, and as far as I'm concerned there can't be enough of them, and I've not seen one with great proverbs, of which there are plenty.

They are a wonderful look at human nature and the way things work; the cumulative wisdom of people around the globe and over time. When you hear the same thing, in the beautiful and picturesque language of proverbs or sayings, from countries miles apart in space, and centuries apart in time, you can't help but take note.

Well, the Moroccans have a saying, "If fate throws a knife at you, there are two ways of catching it: By the blade and by the handle."

Since I coach, I have the opportunity to talk to many people who have had a knife thrown at them, and my clients are international, just from the US. How many of them wisely and kindly choose to catch it by the blade. Or, as the Germans say, they choose to "Drive gently over the stones."

I'm also an EQ coach -- emotional intelligence -- and one of the EQ competencies is being relentlessly and adamantly self-forgiving. The cornerstone of EQ is self-awareness, and, as you know if you've been caught in the black hole of being unable to forgive someone (another, or yourself) you know that forgiveness is ultimately for your benefit. The reason I bring this up here, is that catching it by the blade often revolves around blame. When something adverse happens we can spend much time casting blame -- either at ourselves or others. We fill our mind with thoughts:

• How could she?
• I should've known better
• If only I'd ...
• This is unfair and I'll never survive it/get over it.
• You're damn right I'm bitter/cynical. You would be too.
• I won't stop until I get even with him.

Perhaps worst of all is when there really isn't a person to blame, and we harbor the notion, sometimes unspoken, that we have a RIGHT to SUFFER for the rest of our lives. The feelings are justified, yes. Our feelings are always just what they are, and are not to be argued with. But with emotional intelligence, we realize that we still have a choice of how we react and respond to those feelings and that ultimately its our wellness that's at stake.
